Himanshu Riyal

About the Author

Himanshu Riyal is an ex-IRS officer, and a humanities graduate from Delhi University. Right since adolescence, he has been an enthusiast of history, philosophy, mythologies, cultures and civilizations. Writing always fascinated him. However, on practical fronts, it remained more or less a hobby only; never travelling beyond some random works comprising of a few dozen pages at a stretch. Finally, upon being encouraged, prompted… or rather coerced… by family & friends; he decided to widen his horizons and write a full-size novel.

As an author, he believes in setting free his child-like imagination – permitting it to chase and wrestle-with the varied streams of his choice & passion. Struggling in this liberal background, is the writer inside of him; who is only permitted to act as a caring, yet non-intrusive guardian… merely recording all those observations.

The 2210 Legacy - Dead came Reckoning

Humans have already colonized a perfectly inhabitable planet in a distant galaxy – trillions & trillions of light years away. The mutual transmission is possible only through a series of unconventional and complicated procedures.

The otherwise spotless track-record of this mass migration is marred by a solo blot during year 2210; when a big caravan suffered an unprecedented sabotage. Decades have passed, and the world has conveniently forgotten everything.

Then after 45 years, one group of victims suddenly arrive – demanding rehabilitation & reparations; but it’s not possible to compensate for their loss. The conflict escalates and the visitors threaten to annihilate the entire colony – thus eliminating the billions of its inhabitants.

The crisis is unprecedented and the resolution – unattainable. Then, in an equally unconventional manner, the team of protagonists works hard to resolves the crisis; but not without numerous twists and turns, and of course – with huge collateral sacrifices.
