The Ulysses Pact By Karthik C – A Psychological Thriller With A Unique Storyline
A good psychological thriller is often rare to come by, but when written in the right manner, it can stay with the readers for a long time. That is exactly the effect that The Ulysses Pact is likely to have on the readers. Written by Karthik C, the book s quite unlike any other suspense novel and comes with a unique twist in the story.
Premise:
Yazdaan Abbas, a psychiatrist, convinces five of his patients to take part in a deadly game set by him. The game, which requires the participants to enter a Big Boss-style house, is streamed live on the darknet. Every player has a secret, and all of them gets monitored by delinquents. They also place bets on their miserable lives. As the participants start sharing their stories, their invisible audience is waiting to see as to who among the five would be miserable enough to end their lives or drown in their despair.
Character Development:
The writer has done a great job of building each character and making their stories realistic. From their past horrid lives to their even more frightening present situation, the personality and psychology of each character are presented in great detail to make them seem believable.
Story:
The story follows an interesting and intelligent plot that comes with several twists and turns. What makes it unique though, is the fact that it’s not just another run-of-the-mill suspense thriller. Rather, it talks about having second chances at life.
Writing style:
The book has been written beautifully while maintaining the thrill and suspense till the very end. The language is easy and the narration style crisp, which makes it quite an enjoyable read. But before I give the final verdict I need to agree that I smelled in the story a glimpse of the story of Bollywood Movie Table No 21.
Final Verdict:
This is a must-have book for people who love psychological thrillers, and I give it 4.5/5.
