When an evolving AI virus, Lank-8, cripples global infrastructure, cybersecurity expert Anchan Nair uncovers a terrifying truth. The attacks trace an ancient pattern linked to his late father’s revolutionary research and quantum-proof encryption hidden within sacred Indian yantras.

Racing against a ticking clock, Anchan and brilliant cryptographer Vidya Raghavan pursue the elusive Maricha, a formidable operative collecting fragments of this world-altering power. As the stakes escalate, Anchan must unlock a deeply buried secret from his father's past, a legacy of unimaginable power, to confront a conspiracy that intertwines ancient warrior wisdom, forgotten mathematics, and the fate of the digital age. 

From Madurai’s temple shadows to RAW-controlled war rooms, the team must outpace a countdown that could rewire the global digital order. With enemies closing in, can Anchan unlock the encrypted truths of the past before Maricha triggers a future none of them can control?

LANK-8 is a high-stakes techno-mythological thriller that blends:
✔️ Indian spirituality with quantum computing
✔️ Cybersecurity with ancient martial wisdom
✔️ Espionage with encrypted myth
✔️ RAW intelligence drama with a global conspiracy

Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Dan Brown, Neal Stephenson, and Amish Tripathi, this is Book 1 of the Vanara Network Trilogy.
