Mahabharata Series
Ashok’s long-awaited Mba Series has begun! Based strictly on the original Sanskrit shlokas with vivid action-packed narration and descriptions, this sampoorn Mahabharata retelling in 18 massive volumes brings to life all the magic and majesty, wonders and violence of the world’s greatest epic. This is Mahabharata as you’ve never experienced before: a once-in-a-lifetime reading experience. Volume One: The Forest of Stories presents the fabulous creation myths and origin stories of India while setting the stage for the main narrative which explodes with action in Volume Two: The Seeds of War and Volume Three: The Children of Midnight. Available in exclusive hand-crafted ebook editions from AKB eBOOKS, designed and formatted by the author himself.
Krishna Coriolis Series

Future History
Those familiar with Ashok’s EPIC INDIA LIBRARY (outlined in his Introduction to Vengeance of Ravana) will recall the Fourth Wheel of that plan: Future History. This includes the Vortal Codex series, the Gods of War series and interlinked titles such as Vengeance of Ravana (but not the rest of the Ramayana Series). This series comprises science fiction, fantasy and supernatural thrillers that explore the various ripples ensuing from events described in other stories (such as the Ramayana, Mahabharata, Krishna Coriolis and Itihasa Series).
MUMBAI NOIR
“India’s First Crime Novelist in English” (as the international and Indian media credited him in the early 1990s) is BACK with a BANG! AKB eBOOKS is reissuing the original three crime thrillers that set the pace for Indian crime writing in English: THE IRON BRA, MURDER & CHAMPAGNE and TEN DEAD ADMEN. To be followed soon by a brand-new action-packed thriller series which is like nothing you’ve ever read before…starting with THE ARBITRATOR!
AKB eBOOKS ROCK ON!
AKB eBOOKS began with the intention of offering ebook editions of a few unpublished (or published but difficult to get) titles by Ashok K. Banker for readers around the world. Almost immediately, readers began clamoring for Subscriptions. We complied by offering three Series Subscriptions at the lowest possible prices: Mahabharata Series, Krishna Coriolis Series, and Ramayana Series. All priced at one-third to half of what a print edition would cost – if and when a print edition is ever released. The result…OVER 2,000 AKB eBOOKS Subscriptions sold in the first month!

His British grandmother’s family settled in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The family name was Smith, which was of Dutch-British extraction and they were intermarried with Kelly, of Scots-Irish extraction. They spoke English and Tamizh (Tamil) and were raised in the Anglo-Sri Lankan culture.
