The Karma Conspiracy- Review

If you’re a Baby Boomer who somehow missed the opportunity … (as I did) to travel to India during the 60’s-70’s in search of self and/or God, you’re in luck. The Karma Conspiracy will take you on a memorable journey via Max Rild, the leading character. I could hardly put the book down once I started. I loved the story and the characters and so will you (that is of course if the concept is your cup of chai)!

as Max, Shunya and Diane search high and low across India for answers to their spiritual doubts. What could be just a procession of gurus, yogis and towns is carried along nicely by the novel’s fast pace, set by brief chapters and jumps from one protagonist to the next.

To match the pace, Dresner deftly employs cliffhangers at the end of many chapters, jumping off to Max in the Himalayas and leaving Shunya in Delhi to fend for his life. The characters’ paths get a bit tangled at times, but the device reveals how the characters’ various travels fit chronologically and thematically. I loved the story and the characters and so will you (that is of course if the concept is your cup of chai)!
