RECOVERING FROM THE LAST ROUND OF TERROR—AN EXHAUSTED U. S. PRESIDENT DEALS WITH THE SPECTER OF NUCLEAR HORROR.

HORUS ends the thrilling “New Caliphate” trilogy, which began with OSIRIS and ANUBIS, where megalomaniacs battled zealots and America was caught in the crossfire.

U.S. Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sergeant More and U.S. Army Special Forces Major Faheem hoped to never see one other again. But, warlords and fanatics on the march in the Middle East have no regard for others.

With ISIS on its heels and the Caliph on the run, Turkish strongman Recep Erdogan revives the Ottoman Empire. The Kurds refuse to get out of his way. Poison gas in play, the jihadi have set Europe aflame, and cyber-criminal ODIN has found his way to a keyboard. More and Faheem discover that North Korean has sold cruise missiles to terrorists. Can they stop these madmen before mushroom clouds light up the world?

Industry Reviews

Former intelligence officer Eric C. Anderson again strikes a discomfiting, hyper-realistic chord with “Horus,” the thrilling finale of his near-future trilogy about Islamist warlords, fumbling western politicos, cyber criminals and double agents. As with “Anubis” and “Osiris,” Anderson takes a lanky stride five years into the future, where Chuck Schumer is the hapless, overburdened, hard-drinking President, right-wing fascist Marine La Pen rules a France on the brink of internal revolt, and Recep Erdogan of Turkey is about to snatch his chance to rekindle the Ottoman Empire and assume the mantle of Caliph. As Anderson’s returning heroes More and Faheem enter the fray, all seems manageable, until the North Koreans deliver nuclear cruise missiles to the exiled remnants of ISIS, which kicks the novel into cardiac inducing tension. In a brilliantly executed melding of the nuclear horror classics, “Dr. Strangelove” and “Fail Safe,” Anderson’s “Horus” is both comically cynical and frighteningly prescient, and he rides the edge of history like a horseman of the apocalypse. For readers who love page-turning, insider thrillers that rob them of rest, this one’s a classic of the genre.
