Blurb: India’s first start-up of superheroes with a mission of saving lives is here to kick ass.
Rasiq is riding the highs of life thanks to his successes as an investment banker. But his arrogance soon gets the better of him and he ends up losing everything he holds dear. Managing to salvage only his grit from the wreckage, Rasiq reboots his life and teams up with five uniquely talented superheroes to start a rescue venture
– DareDreamers.
These superheroes Nick: a crazy inventor; Halka: an inhumanly strong man; Arjun: a champion shooter; Natasha: a Bollywood stunt-double; Dr. Vyom, a medical Sherlock Holmes; and, of course, Rasiq: the mastermind combine their unique talents to deliver spectacular rescue operations. Their skyrocketing success, however, comes at a price an enemy hell-bent on tearing down their fame and reputation.
Will DareDreamers defeat its wily adversary? Or will it become yet another failed start-up?
Treachery, action, and adventure come alive to make DareDreamers a page-turner.
My Review: Before turning the first page of every book, I will always examine the cover and the blurb given in the back cover. These two things always should appeal the reader to take that book and read. So in this point of view, “Daredreamers” perfectly adhere to the plot and sincere to its blurb!. A special mention goes to the father-son duo who penned this interesting read
The protagonist Rasiq has a lucrative job which everyone in his age group eyes for. But the fat check at the end of the month given at the prize of all his time. This grueling job nearly kills his life and he resigned his job to achieve something which has value more than money. This character is an absolute reflection of every one of us. Every fresh-out college graduate aims only higher and higher packages of money only. The higher the package you got, the more success you’re and of course vice-versa!! I know this because I’m also lived in these situations. The high money package always comes with high workload because nothing will be free ever in our life. It is obvious that everyone who has joined in this rat-race feels numb at a point in their life. Most of them I know just go on with their job because of personal and professional commitments. But when comes to a film or a book, the plot-twister will grab the attention of readers from here.
Creation is about diversity.
So Rasiq launches a start-up with a unique idea of rescuing those who were in danger and named it “Daredreamers”.Like the name, the team behind the venture is the people who dare to dream which every other finds impossible. This team consists of Nick – a crazy inventor, Halka – a strongman, Arjun – a champion shooter, Natasha – a Bollywood stunt double and Dr. Vyom – a medical Sherlock Holmes and the mastermind Rasiq. But of course, how a story becomes interesting without a villain? Rapid success and fame is the dream everyone eyes. The success will always come with a prize and without obstacles, there will be no improvement so far. Rasiq has to battle with his revelries in this field to save the team from being a failed start-up. How the villainous force rift the lives of this team and will they able to overcome these trouble? The rest of the story answers the question.
My life in this urban jungle feels like that hare in the race with the tortoise.
