Imran Series
The Imran Series is Ibne Safi’s second best-selling Urdu spy novel series, the first novel, Khaufnaak Imarat, was pulished in August 1955. Following in the footsteps on the earlier Jasoosi Duniya, this series is centered around the adventures of one main hero, Ali Imran – a playful yet deceptive personality. A bright young graduate with both M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Oxford, his comical and seemingly incompetent persona is a façade for his true identity as head of the Secret Service. This series has been widely acclaimed for its high literary quality and strong character development.
