The Nyaya Sutras of Gotama : Satis Chandra Vidyabhusana (1913, 2003) Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers.

Gotama Nyaya Sutras

I found this book at one of the Book Fairs at Palace Grounds, Bangalore and I fond it very interesting.

I paid Rs 500 for it and just found that you can get a free download at archive.org (17.5 MB). ( :(  )

I am attaching the TOC for your reference so you know the sort of genius that the Gauthama Gothra possessed. (I plan to bask in reflected glory of course.)
