A novel similar to James Rollins novels. What is 6174? Its called Kaprekar's constant(discovered by an Indian). It's a mystery number. A constant that arises when we take a 4-digit integer, form the largest and smallest numbers from its digits, and then subtract these two numbers. The novel revolve around this number. Book contains lots of Tamil puzzles (decoding தமிழ் வெண்பா for solutions), Physical and chemical references particularly about portable GC-MS instrument for analysing sweat samples, X-ray fluorescent Spectrometer, Coelacanth fishes, Lemurians. A well crafted novel by K.Sudhagar. Story starts from Lemuria and travels to Chennai, Trivandrum, Kancheepuram, Lonar (crater impact site, India), Orissa, Myanmar and ends at Mexico. A well written sci- fiction novel and the only difficulty I felt is, in certain segments, probably flashback portions, started in italics format and within a para or two become normal font as if it happens in current scenario. Since the characters appearing on both segments are same, it kind of confuses the timeline. A 408 pages novel is racy pacy thriller. This novel attracted me more because there was no undue heroism and characterization was build neatly.
