"Tantri is adviser to and the right-hand man of Raja Hooja, an easy-going monarch whose chief interest in life is food, being especially fond of laddoos. Hooja considers Tantri an epitome of loyalty, never realizing that the man is a blackguard who has set his sights on the throne. Tantri devises plan after plan to eliminate his royal master and become the new king but Hooja is incredibly lucky (or perhaps Tantri is incredibly unlucky). Not only do his plans not succeed they often boomerang, with physically disastrous consequences for the mantri."--Page 2 of cover.
