The third installment in the More series of dystopian thrillers set in NYC during the Second Great Depression sees the greatest danger to the recurring ragtag team of cops and Feds. More's cover is blown and his CIA handler has been dragged in front of a Congressional investigative committee. Meanwhile the political feud between Republicans and Democrats has reached critical mass during the 2016 presidential conventions in NYC. Two feuding legislators who are using a shadow bank in the city's subway system to move slush funds through have their quarrel spill into open warfare. The Democrat has the entire political apparatus from City Hall to the NY State House to Washington on her side; the Republican has a former Special Forces veteran of Iraq (and More's nemesis) now turned mercenary. Soon full-scale war on a level far above what the NYPD can handle is breaking out all over the city, with the civilian population caught in the crossfire. Only More can save Santiago's team but will he be enough to stop his high-tech military counterpart?

This is the second novel in the More series of dystopian thrillers set in the Second Great Depression in NYC. More and Santiago's new unit is now detailed to the NYPD's most elite division to investigate the brutal mob killing of a high-profile hedge fund founder. Their team is also assigned its first Federal, and female, member (whom More and Santiago instantly dislike) from a financial-crimes division of the Treasury Department. Tensions immediately escalate when the team discovers the victim's underling is on the run with an encrypted computer drive containing information sensitive enough to draw in an array of international hit men who commence a deadly manhunt through the city. The case leads to a horrific terror plot against the city's buses in order to create a stock market crash for the benefit of the criminal mastermind who created the encrypted drive. More is turned on the loose in full combat mode over Santiago's objections and brings a taste of Afghanistan to New York City.

Pascual Rose, I believe? Or would it be Pascual March today?

Anyone who knows both Pascual's names means trouble, and Pascual has a feeling that the Yank who has tracked him to a cheap Marseille bistro is going to spoil more than his lunch.

The Agency needs another favor, but there's a carrot with the stick this time-one million dollars. All Pascual has to do is deliver the ransom for some hijacked government data. But when the hackers get hacked and the new deal involves a human life, the job suddenly gets a lot more complicated.

Pascual finds his sympathies lie with the hacker, and with a hundred million dollars in gold-backed cryptocurrency at stake, he suddenly has a whole roster of enemies to go with his new friend, from Syrian thugs to mysterious Russian operatives.

The complications take Pascual to the banking district of Monaco, a secret prison in war-torn Yemen, an anarchist squat in chaotic Athens, and the haunted streets of Istanbul, with no one to trust but himself and the only certainty the need to guess right-or else.

ON A CLEAR, COLD NIGHT HIGH ABOVE EAST ASIA, A CHINA AIR PASSENGER JET DISAPPEARS FROM RADAR WITH ALL ABOARD. IT'S AN ANOMALY, A FLUKE, AN UNSOLVABLE PUZZLE-AND THEN A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER, IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

It's 2023. Former Air Force maintenance officer Jason Montgomery and his erstwhile wrench-twister, Rob Ski Kalawski, have just landed the gig of their lives. China Air's aging fleet of Boeing 777s now desperately needs navigation hardware and software upgrades. It's a multimillion-dollar contract, and they're just the guys to do it. Too easy, right?

Wrong. The Japanese firm supplying the gear knows the Chinese will reverse-engineer and steal it, so they've planted a deadly navigation bug to trigger at the first sign of theft. Jason's just the middleman, but he finds himself trapped between yakuza gangsters, a tattooed dragon-lady sales exec, and murderous Russian mobsters looking to make a profit on the missing airplanes and passengers. If these crazies don't start behaving like moral adults, people are going to die by the hundreds . . . and they do.

FINAL FLIGHT, the latest prescient tale from the man who brought us the NEW CALIPHATE trilogy and BYTE, might make you think twice before boarding the next plane.

TWENTY YEARS OFF THE GRID AND HE THOUGHT HE WAS SAFE

The Republic of Night as the sequel of Lying Crying Dying, finds Pascual Rose trying to stay off the radar in Barcelona's back alleys and bars, but to no avail. French intelligence agents find him and make him an offer he can't refuse-identify an old Syrian comrade now working for a sinister Russian conglomerate, for a price.

Calling on old Israeli adversaries for help, Pascual is forced to confront unpleasant truths about his traveling companion-and trusting wrongly could get him killed.

TAKE A THRILL RIDE INTO THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW THROUGH A EUROPE FRACTURED BY SEISMIC CHANGE.

An American journalist in Moscow uncovers a startling twist in American/Russian relations. A health care administrator struggles to keep medical services afloat amid a crumbling NHS in post-Brexit England. A Ukrainian soldier struggles to reconcile his pre- and post-war identities.

This collection of short stories and beautifully rendered maps takes readers where academics and think tank philosophers dare not tread. Written by journalists and experts in regions with geopolitical unrest who have witnessed periods of great upheaval and threats both foreign and domestic, these fictionalized accounts depict the all-too-real failings of ideology and idealism in a Eurozone dystopia that has already arrived.

Edited by the late Eric C. Anderson, former US Intelligence officer and author of several thrillers including the more recent New Caliphate trilogy--Osiris, Anubis, and Horus and the cyber thriller Byte and co-edited by Adam Dunn, author of the More series--Rivers of Gold, The Big Dogs, and Saint Underground--the collection features works by Conrad Zielan, Constantine Bouchagiar, Preston Smith, Peter Galuszka, David J.

Minty Mehta, aka MM, is a thrill-seeker, a disgraced, self-destructive, ex-army cadet with a taste for hard drugs and kinky sex, and a shrewd reporter who will do anything to get a story. His connections reach deep into the heart of India's unsavory political establishment, and into the army--his current beat--where his bravery earns the trust and admiration of even more unsavory sources.

Following Special Forces on a series of deadly missions on the Kashmiri border, MM confirms his suspicion that a rogue band of officers is smuggling drugs and captured weapons out of India's jungle frontier. When a raid on an enemy bunker uncovers an enormous cache of arms and high-grade heroin, the commander in charge taps MM to unload the goods, and he finds himself enmeshed in an international net of gunrunning, gang warfare, and double-dealing more dangerous than anything he's undertaken so far.

Cynical, knowing, highly capable and deeply motivated, MM is a postmodern hero in the same nihilistic vein as the protagonists of Hunter S. Thompson and Carl Hiaasen. The debut novel by the investigative journalist dubbed The King of Sting and India's most feared reporter for his exposure of illegal arms dealing and other corruption in India, joins the ranks of world-class suspense authors with an insider's look at the serpentine challenges of modern India.

THE SLAUGHTER OF THOUSANDS OF US CITIZENS IN BAGHDAD WASN'T ENOUGH--SO NOW THE CALIPHATE HAS A NEW PLAN

ANUBIS, the second installment of Eric C. Anderson's thrilling New Caliphate trilogy, picks up where OSIRIS left off, on a roller-coaster of soldiers, spies, statesmen and sellouts, all thrown together either to save the world--or see it destroyed.

Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sergeant More and US Army Special Forces Major Faheem are once more thrust to the front as the world braces for a hurricane of terror.

With an outrageously enigmatic US president dead, his most hated political opponent about to be inaugurated, and ISIS attacking on multiple global fronts, will America and her allies give in to the jihadi and withdraw from the Middle East? The only way for More and Faheem to prevent the crisis from becoming a catastrophe is to turn to More's nemesis ODIN--the ultimate cyber-warrior.

With rivers of blood ready to run through the capitals of Europe, Africa, and Washington, D.C., the clock is ticking...

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?

Pascual is a marked man lying low. In the 1980s, he was a courier for a network of radical groups that spread terror across Europe in the name of separatism and liberation. That is, until he defected to the Mossad and CIA, selling out his former comrades save one-his old flame, the beautiful Katixa.

Then he vanished along with his new identity into the streets of Barcelona, his childhood home. Sleeping in flophouses and living hand to mouth, Pascual spends his days trying to atone for his sins among the city's teeming alleys and taverns. He keeps a low profile, hiding from old associates looking to exact revenge.

But just when he thinks he's finally shed his past, Katixa bursts back into his life with a suitcase full of cash hijacked from an ETA kidnapping, looking for a one-way ticket out of Spain-with Pascual. His better judgment doesn't stand a chance.

To redeem both their lives, Pascual dusts off his old skills of subterfuge and deceit and goes on the run with Katixa, dodging ETA hitmen and the police in a nerve-wracking headlong race for survival. But nothing is what it seems, and betrayals lurk at every turn. When Pascual realizes that everyone is lying to him, the crying and the dying cannot be far behind.

RIVERS OF GOLD is the first in the More series of dystopian thrillers featuring MARSOC operator Everett Ever More and NYPD Detective Sixto Santiago. The series is set in the Second Great Depression. The primary locale is New York City. The economy is shattered, the government is helpless, and crime and disease run rampant. An underground party circuit has developed, wherein rival cartels use a network of taxicabs to move contraband around the city. The only remaining obstacle to complete mobocracy is an experimental NYPD unit which relies on tough undercover detectives in taxicabs who try to keep the rising tide of chaos at bay. Detective Sixto Santiago is one of these cops, who is grudgingly partnered with a newcomer named Everett More, who does not seem to be aware of any rules governing police conduct. The brutal murder of a cab driver draws them into an increasingly complex investigation that eventually gives them a lead into the gang war between the party cartels. But as the case grows seedier and more dangerous, Santiago is forced to investigate his own partner, and is shocked to discover he is part of a covert CIA operation to infiltrate the NYPD. More is no cop he is something altogether more dangerous. But he is the only one Santiago can rely upon when their case leads them to the rising stars of New York's underworld, whose connections range from immigrant cab drivers to the captains of the finance industry.
