(4) 4-6 A modern British boy is suddenly tasked with saving the world when he stumbles upon an ancient weapon that everyone seems to want, and he is attacked by rakshasas (shape-shifting demons of Indian legend) who are commanded by someone obsessed with awakening an evil force. Lengthy exposition and convenient plot twists dull this otherwise intriguing novel about Indian culture and mythology.
