Christopher C. Doyle creates a world of fantasy and mystery in which mythology, action and suspense come together to weave a thriller that will keep you spellbound till the very end.
Son of Bhrigu is the first book of The Pataala Prophecy' series.
An alumnus of St Stephen's College, Delhi and IIM Calcutta, Doyle had a successful career in the corporate sector before embarking on an entrepreneurial journey, running a firm which helps companies to achieve exponential growth. He is also one of India's leading CEO coaches. He lives in New Delhi with his wife and daughter.

As always, my biggest appreciation and gratitude goes out to my wife Sharmila and my daughter Shaynaya. They have supported and encouraged me throughout the time I spent writing this book, even though it took away from the time that I could have spent with them. Moreover, Sharmila, as always, was the first to read the first draft of the manuscript and give her feedback and Shaynaya, being a teenager herself, gave me some valuable tips on teenage behaviour in different situations.
