Fantastic
Looks like a lot of research had been going on behind the scenes. Interesting facts. But not much of suspense or twists.
Amazing book
The author has very good knowledge. Interesting read. Nice words. I read without taking any break. Happy that this became best seller
Action thriller novel
This book tells in detail the action taken by a police officer in cracking a crime and its very interesting
An interesting thriller.
I completed in one sit. Little soft twists and turns and you'll have a better understanding of a small portion of history and tech.
Best thriller in the Alto series
Good mix of technology,Tamil literature,geography and sarcasm makes this short novel an engaging and high speed thriller.
Kudos to the author.

Excellent Narration
Sen Balan is at his best here. He has skillfully combined history, current affairs, technology and politics to give this masterclass of a thriller
Strongly recommend all tamils to read this
Getting better
SEN BALAN improved his work. Best of his three books. Connected the dots with least loop holes and convincing story telling. Many political commentary supporting dravida parties act as just page fillers
Awesome.
This story is a must-read for for anyone who loves Detective and crime stories. After a long time, I had a complete satisfaction on reading a detective story. Keep up the good work.
ரொம்ப சின்ன புத்தகம்.. பேர் ஓர் account ல இருக்குற amount ah கொள்ளை அடிக்க பேராசிரியர் ah கடத்துறப்ப கவர்னர் காரை மோதி விரைந்து செல்லும்.அந்த காரில் பயணம் செய்பர்களுக்கும், அந்த மோதலை விசாரிக்கும் ���ாவல்துறை அதிகாரி இடையே ஆன பயணம் மாயப் பெருநிலம்...
This is an interesting short read. Keeps you hooked till the end. Although if one has read Rajeshkumar type of Crime Novels we could easily guess what might happen and I kinda guessed that.
I wish the author tries or goes with a negative ending in his upcoming novels just to see the reception.
Astonishing detective novel
The third book in detective Aldo series. The authors writing, like wine gets better with time. Brilliant amalgamation of contemporary politics, nail biting thrill and simple format. Way to go..,
superstar in thriller
The best from the author among his three books till date.The plot and its linking with tamil history coupled with his trademark sarcasm of patriots of sangh parivar makes it a must read
Excellent Novel
Writer has an immense knowledge of Sangam Tamil literature and current Tamil politics.. he intertwined both of them for a goof cause in a very attractive.. waiting for Karthick Aldo's next adventure
Interesting Thriller with Current Politics humour!!!!
Sen Balan has provided a fantastic novel combining past and present scenarios. Many thanks to you for the excellent readability.

Likes:
- The way Senbalan traversed between present and past
- Detailing (especially the routes, maps, songs from Tamil lit etc)
- taking dig at present say political scene
It's a political thriller based on eelam - tamilnadu political ties. The story is very gripping and moves very quick. The computer technology based narration is very realistic and the author puts lot of effort to convince the reader about the protoganist's investigations and not try to portray illogical heriocs of him. Recommended read.

இந்த நாவல் 2018 ன் Amazon Kindle ‘pen to publish’ போட்டியில் முதல் பரிசு வென்றது என்பதில் துளியும் ஆச்சரியமில்லை!
Well Written Novel with subtle political overtones.
Dr. Sen Balan, the Winner of the first Pen to Publish Contest has given another best seller and page turner. Literature evolves. And this is the kind of literature that can be aptly called Digital Literature. It makes you read and at the same time, doesn't tire you. This is a thriller novel and like any other American Crime Writers, Dr. Balan too goes for details, and he cleverly intertwines political opinions and historical facts. In fact he has taken a very heavy subject and had dealt with it in a light hearted manner. Like Christopher Nolan, Dr. Balan loves the non linear narrative and breaks the monotony of time. Like Ludlum, Balan succeeds in keeping the reader under his control. A thoroughly enjoyable book.
I came across this book by one of my good reads friend. When I read this book its like watching movie. Also looks like director Hari story. I finished this book within 2 hours. So, easy to read in dialect Tamil. I expected big plot but its not happened. Nevertheless, you will be satisfied with story in the end.
Nice gripping fiction
Nice gripping fiction which tried to connect various Tamil literature and a crime investigation.
Has a little political sattire as well. Job well done
Nostalgic thriller
A very well written thriller intertwining a lot of themes like Srilankan Civil war, Tamil literature, history, and politics. Best in the Karthik Aldo series so far. Must read.
Excellent crime thriller
Fantastic novel... Great narration.. Cant stop finishing the novel @ one go.. I have read this author's previous novel பரங்கிமலை rail nilayam. Sen Balan never fails to amaze
ஆல்டோ-வின் மூன்றாவது புத்தகம். முதல் புத்தகம் சமீபத்தில் படிக்க நேர்ந்து அதற்க்காக வருத்தப்பட்டேன். பரங்கிமலை போன்றதொரு த்ரில்லர் இல்லை இது. ஆரம்பத்தில் இருந்தே இந்த கதையை (மாயப் பெருநிலம்) கணிக்க முடிந்தது. இறுதிவரை நான் எதிர்பார்த்தது போலவே இருக்க கொஞ்சம் உறுத்தல். கடைசி வரை என்னை ஏமாற்றி ஏதேனும் ஒரு புது திருப்பம் வைப்பார் ஆசிரியர் என்று எண்ணியது தான் மிச்சம்.
4.5+ *. After thinking for a while whether to give a 4* or 5* I gave this one a 5 star. This book was an absolute page turner. It was fun to read. There were little inconsistencies but that didn’t bother me while reading. This was more of a Dan Brownish story. I guessed how this story is gonna end, still I kept on reading and enjoyed it. That’s why I gave it 5 stars.
PS: Karthick Aldo is not a super detective. A normal government official who solves crime mysteries. That’s why I find him more appealing.
சென் பாலனின் கார்த்திக் அல்டோ தொடர் - நூல் அறிமுகm
முந்தைய நாவலை காட்டிலும், இதிலுள்ள விவரங்கள் விலாவாரியாக விவரிக்கப் பட்டுள்ளன. இப்போதுள்ள அரசியல் நிகழ்வுகளை கலந்து வாசிக்கும் போது மேலும் விறுவிறுப்பாகவும் சுவாரஸ்யமாகவும் உள்ளது..
Engaging suspense thriller novel
