= The Beasts of Eden = The Beasts of Eden (also known as The Beasts of Eden: An Indrajeet Azaad Adventure) is a 2020 espionage thriller novel written by Indian novelist Anirban Dey Choudhury. It is Dey Choudhury's debut novel and the first book in the Indrajeet Azaad Chronicles series. Combining elements of a spy thriller and an action adventure, the story narrates the mission of an Indian Intelligence Agent tasked with the elimination of a drug lord of Nazi origin.

Plot
As part of a multi-agency covert operation, R&AW Agent Indrajeet Azaad, a member of an elite special task force within the R&AW, is sent to New York to eliminate Karl Gottlieb, younger brother of international drug lord Klaus Gottlieb. Despite his partner's death, Azaad successfully completes the mission and returns to India, where he is informed by his boss that he now has to travel to the Gottliebs' privately owned island and eliminate Klaus Gottlieb as well. Azaad also learns that all previous attempts to kill the drug lord has failed, because there is a mole who has been leaking information to Gottlieb. Azaad has only a few days to complete his mission, but just as he is about to get close to his target, he realises that his mission has been compromised and his cover has been blown.

Influences
The author cites Alistair MacLean, Ian Fleming, Jack Higgins, Desmond Bagley and Matthew Reilly as writers who have influenced him.

Conception, Release and Reception
According to the author, he conceived the plot of the novel "sometime in the latter half of 2008", although the first draft was written between March and December 2017.

Dey Choudhury self-published his novel—in both eBook and Paperback formats—on his birthday in October 2020, in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic, using the Kindle Direct Publishing platform.

Upon its release on Amazon, the book received high praise from readers all over. A sequel, the next entry in the Indrajeet Azaad Chronicles series, is reportedly in the works.
