Love in the time of espionage | Review of ‘The Black Orphan’ by S. Hussain Zaidi

The Hindu  

The action-packed prologue to S. Hussain Zaidi’s espionage novel, The Black Orphan, ends with a spot of magical thinking. The scene’s conclusion sees the woman thanking the hero; this is normal enough, but Zaidi has to push his luck and have the woman tell Ajay, “You are a saviour sent by Allah”. Templated plot Ajay and his colleagues are trying their best to foil an upcoming, highly coordinated terror attack in Mumbai, even as a mysterious killer is hunting down India’s nuclear scientists one by one. Zaidi tries his best to cash in on the trends set by Yash Raj Films’ recent spate of spy movies such as Pathaan, Tiger 3, War et al.
