      A violent encounter on the streets of Manhattan forces Wall Street banker Maximus Pzoras to confront questions about suffering and mortality that have dogged him since his mother’s death. His search for a mentor takes him to the farthest reaches of India, where he encounters a mysterious night market, almost freezes to death on a hike up the Himalayas and finally, finds himself in an ashram in a small drought stricken village in South India where strange things begin to happen to him. But are Yogis who walk on water, do impossible poses, and live agelessly for 200 years the stuff of fiction or fact? Can a flesh and blood man ever truly achieve nirvana? Max struggles to overcome his rational skepticism and the pull of family tugging him back home. In a final bid for answers, he embarks on dangerous solitary meditation in a freezing Himalayan cave. Will Max penetrate the truth of human suffering, or is enlightenment just a new age illusion? The SEEKER is both a page turning adventure story and a journey of tremendous inner transformation, a SIDDHARTHA for our generation.

      Nikhil Arya has fallen. Once, he was an Ivy League scholar with a promising future at NASA; now, at forty, he is broke, homeless, and minutes away from blowing his brains out in a diabolical modern-day joust. It wasn't meant to be this way. An innocent vacation turned into an epic intercontinental journey that saw Nikhil become first a genocide survivor, then a Buddhist monk, a drug lord, a homeless accountant, a software mogul and a deadly game fighter. Now, twenty years later, Nikhil aka Johnny is tired of running. With the Colombian mafia on his trail and his abandoned wife and son ten thousand miles away, he prepares for his final act, aware that he will have lost even if he wins. Or will he? Is there any greater victory than living a life that knows no limits, a world that has seen no boundaries? From the bestselling author of Keep Off the Grass comes the once-in-a-lifetime story of an ordinary man fighting an extraordinary destiny. Can he pick up the pieces one last time or will Nikhil, now Johnny, go down for good?

    • Příběh o cestách mladých lidí ze Západu do Indie a jejich fyzické, duševní i emoční zkoušce Max Pzoras je dítkem amerického snu. Syn řeckých přistěhovalců, který vyrostl v nebezpečné čtvrti New Yorku, uspěl – a stal se úspěšným analytikem na Wall Street. Jedné mrazivé prosincové noci se však zaplete do pouliční rvačky a začne přemýšlet na otázkami utrpení a smrtelnosti. Jeho hledání ho zavede do nejvzdálenějších koutů Indie, téměř umrzne při výletu do Himálaje a ocitne se v ašrámu v jižní Indii, v obci, kterou sužuje dlouhodobé sucho. Max hledá odpovědi na komplikované otázky – jak to, že mohou jogíni chodit po vodě a žít 200 let, aniž by stárli? Může člověk z masa a krve dosáhnout nirvány? Max se snaží překonat svou skepsi a nátlak rodiny, aby se vrátil domů. Ve snaze dopátrat se odpovědí se sám vydává na nebezpečnou meditující cestu do himálajské jeskyně, kde jeho fyzická a duchovní výdrž projde nejextrémnějším testem. Napínavý dobrodružný příběh o cestě a vnitřní transformaci, józe a nespokojenosti současné mladé západní generace s domácími poměry
