Then he s shanghaied by black-suited goons and flown to Mount Meru, a vast complex built atop an island in the Maldives. There, Zak meets a trio of billionaire businessmen who put him to work designing costumes for a team of godlike super-powered beings based on the ten avatars of Vishnu from Hindu mythology. The Ten Avatars battle demons and aliens and seem to be the saviours of a world teetering on collapse. But their presence is itself a harbinger of apocalypse. The Vedic fourth age of civilisation, Kali Yuga, is coming to an end, and Zak has a ringside seat for the final, all-out war that threatens the destruction of Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949565112373,"sku":"ByrdShop_1781081808","price":32.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781781081808_37704b38-fc7d-4de4-b27e-fc7a359e8f88.jpg?v=1778647273","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/age-of-shiva-9781781081808","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
