📚Book: The Scent of Redemption
📚Author: Shreyan Laha
📚Review: The Scent of Redemption by Shreyan Laha is a powerful science fiction story that follows the journey of Dr. Ronit Sarkar, a pediatrician whose life takes a dark turn after he gives a child an untested vaccine that leads to the child’s death. What starts as a tragic medical mistake quickly turns into something much bigger. As punishment, Ronit is sent to a faraway prison planet called Flarelix. But this place is nothing like Earth—it’s lonely, harsh, and home to strange, intelligent beings. This sets the stage for an emotional and exciting story about facing guilt and trying to make things right.
On Flarelix, Ronit meets the Zizanoids, an alien species that are way more advanced than humans in both thinking and technology. Compared to them, humans seem almost primitive. What’s really interesting is how Shreyan Laha brings this alien world to life with so much detail—he’s especially great at coming up with cool names and ideas for different places and beings. As Ronit gets to know the Zizanoids, he’s forced to reflect on his past mistakes and question what it really means to be intelligent, responsible, and worthy of forgiveness.
In simple terms, this book is more than just a sci-fi adventure. It’s a story about learning from your mistakes, dealing with the weight of guilt, and trying to become a better person—even when it seems impossible. With unexpected twists, emotional depth, and a unique alien world, The Scent of Redemption is a great read for anyone who enjoys stories that make you think as much as they entertain.
