An IAS officer's tale of survival against all odds. Once upon a time there was a city plagued by greed, corruption and mysterious deaths... A patriotic IAS officer, Vikram, decides to expose a corrupt and powerful minister, Rudra Pratap Rana (aka RPR), during the latter's visit to the IAS training academy. The video of Vikram asking the minister some highly embarrassing questions in front of a packed auditorium goes viral. Instead of having Vikram suspended from service, a vengeful RPR unleashes violence on the officer's family, and to continue the torture, RPR gets Vikram posted as the sub-divisional magistrate in Laxmipur-the politician's backyard. As soon as Vikram joins duty, RPR resumes his vengeance. However, a new drama unfolds when a large number of people start dying of heart attacks across Laxmipur. As Vikram tries to unravel these mysterious deaths with the help of Veda, a cardiologist, and Raghu, a police officer, extreme panic grips the city, which soon leads to riots and pandemonium. Vikram is left with no other choice but to risk his life to get to the bottom of this mind-numbing situation. Join Vikram in this fast-paced thriller as he fights to save Laxmipur from HEARTQUAKE.

"Heart: muscle, body organ (...) Earthquake: a sudden tremor (...)" Heartquake = A quake of the heart. Have you ever tried to get through a rift of the heart, and then you had to live with it? A rift caused by pain so strong, by disappointment, by a lie, by anger. A rift of the heart causes a strong quake from the outside that you cannot foresee. As a rift that opens in the ground after an earthquake, this rift couldn't possibly be healed. Heartquake is the story of a quake, not only literal, on the ground, a tremor given by the sudden shift of a rock mass but also of the heart. Heartquake by Oscar Travino talks about the innermost thoughts and aches and how they have been faced. It tells about a time of detention spent with your conscience to re-evaluate your life and to reason on how it could have gone better. Heartquake is a night of memories, imagination, and encounters, between what it was and what could have happened, between the time lost and the time not lived yet. While reading this story, retrace your footsteps, your journey in this life. You could experience confirmations, tears, and joys, by managing to understand and live again every feeling felt by the author, or you could simply get to know a new part of you through the eyes and experiences of someone else. If you want to try this new experience and improve your life, then "BUY NOW" and read Heartquake all at once, and you will see the world from a new perspective.

Strange-but-true dog stories from the Christchurch earthquakes, with beautiful photographs illustrating each story. A collection of stories about Christchurch dogs and the earthquakes - true tales of heroism, odd and quirky stories, funny stories, sad stories - stories that will surprise you, make you chuckle or make you go awwww. Includes stories of USAR dogs that worked in the central city right after the February earthquake; Guinness, the unofficial mascot of the Student Volunteer Army; Nemo who has a special gift for predicting earthquakes; dogs who were rescued and dogs who rescued others; and the uncanny knowledge that a number of dogs showed in their efforts to find their owners. Dogs have been a huge comfort to their owners in Christchurch. The intensity of the earthquake experience has heightened the wordless connection between people and their dogs, and their understanding of each others' emotions. Part of the proceeds from the book help support one of the organisations that helped to save many dogs following the earthquakes.HUHA is a national organisation that works to rescue and re-home animals around the country, and they went to Christchurch three times to take more than 70 dogs plus numerous other animals to safe and loving homes elsewhere in the country.
