And in order to find that, he has to locate the three stones which will lead him to the Tomb of Alexander the Great, where the Water of Life is hidden.

Sinbad and the Tomb of Alexander is a tale of friendship, courage, sacrifice, heartbreaks and finding hope and strength in difficult times. The author has deftly amalgamated humour, romance, fantasy and adventure in this book.

Book Review 54: Satyayoddha Kalki by Kevin Missal.
