Crime fiction is a perennial genre whose appeal has never diminished—even writers of fiction on diverse subjects often try their hand at it. This genre can include characters without continuity or those who form a series, each of which revolves around a new story. The novel presented here is the second installment in such a series, with a mission and a story following a linear path centered around that mission.

Specifically, in the name of crime fiction, I've started two series, each marked with two distinct hashtags: "Crime Fiction" and "Spies." Crime Fiction revolves around a single character, David Francis, who is the product of a unique psychology. He's a wanderer who wants to explore every corner of the world. He's a pervert who wants to seduce women of every race and color... and he's a maniac who wants to bring every criminal in the world to justice.

But his method is a bit unique… He reaches a place of his choice, finds a beautiful woman in trouble and sets out to rescue her, which often becomes a source of trouble for him. The stories that emerge from this process are published under the crime fiction hashtag. This character is still in the process of being formed and as part of this process, its first story, 'Kaya Palat', has been published – while the second story, 'A Damsel in Distress', has also been published along with 'Mission Osawa'.

The second series, published under the hashtag 'Spies', is crime fiction, with 'Mission Osawa' being the second novel after 'Code Black Pearl'. While the David series is based on a single character, the stories in 'Spies' are based on an agency – defined as an additional desk of 'RAW', basically designed to perform with its special agents on matters related to the State Department, but they can also deal with external conspiracies and use domestic land.

This agency primarily consists of three male agents, Aarav, Nihal, and Sangram, and three female agents, Ruby, Sabina, and Rozina—each with its own temperament and working style. They are assigned different missions, which they currently perform as a pair—and are assisted by some Grade B agents. For example, 'Mission Osawa' is the story of a non-state actor who has been launched into Kashmir to create disturbance within the Indian border. Now, finding, capturing, or eliminating this individual is the mission of these four individuals, who have been sent to Kashmir through different routes for this task. The lead characters in the story are Aarav Akash and Ruby Bhatia, and they are also assisted by two Grade B agents, Virat and Ranjeet.

Aarav has a different temperament from the agency's other two main agents, Sangram and Nihal. He's extremely shrewd, but also a great prankster, and doesn't mind making a fool of himself on most occasions and places. He has to get his work done at any cost, and this method seems best to him because it's part of his nature. Yes, he also has a bad habit of looking for shortcuts rather than the long route to completing a task, often leading to missteps. Unlike the other girls in the agency, Ruby is just as playful—but she's strictly wary of making a fool of herself.

One more important point… Stories can be of many kinds, but they will either have suspense, or lots of twists and turns—enough to keep the reader hooked until the end… or they will be straightforward, without any such twists or turns, where the treatment of the story and its events are the main focus—which, instead of being complicated, generates pure entertainment through its dialogues, described scenes, pace, and events, which keeps the reader engaged. Accordingly, the stories of the David series, written under crime fiction, fall into the first category, while the stories related to the 'Indraprastha Intelligentsia', written under the title of Spyers, fall into the second category.

If you read a story with the "Spies" hashtag expecting a lot of suspense, twists, and turns, you'll be disappointed. If you set aside those expectations and read it purely for entertainment, you'll surely enjoy it. One important thing to keep in mind is that these stories with the "Spies" hashtag relate to world politics and diplomacy, based on a global perspective—so, if you have some prior knowledge about that topic, you'll be able to relate better. Alternatively, you can use Google to understand a little bit while reading.

These themes are also used in the story—the story centers on the current global landscape: how hegemony is being manipulated, what is disrupting borders, and how unseen forces operate behind the scenes within a country. The character Mission Osawa presents is one such tool, sent for a specific purpose, and tasked with dealing with the Indraprastha Intelligence. To find out what unfolds in this context, from Ladakh to Kashmir… read "Mission Osawa," a series from Aarav Akash, written under the hashtag #Spyverse!
