Osiris

It’s a dilemma no Washington politician wants to confront: rescuing 5,000 Americans trapped in Baghdad. Taking on the challenge is a crusty Marine, an embattled Army officer, two Turkish spies and the ultimate cyber-warrior. Their enemy? An ISIS regime intent on carving out a new caliphate. Can they rescue an American embassy under siege by a weapon that even Washington’s military might can’t defeat?

Praise

“More and Faheem are the spectacularly blunt American heroes for a new kind of thriller that treats the US government with the same candid suspicion it treats the cutthroats of the jihadi. Eric C. Anderson writes a swift-paced update of the old Vietnam tragedy, where everyone is a hostile and there is no credible goal but survival.”
— JOHN BATCHELOR, “The John Batchelor Show,” WABC
“A shockingly real ripped-from-the-headlines story, this military thriller takes you on a heart-pounding ride through the front lines of America’s war on terror. Eric C. Anderson knows his stuff—and really delivers!”
— R.G. BELSKY, Author of Blonde Ice (David Award Finalist, Silver Falchion Finalist, Claymore Award winner)
“Eric C. Anderson uses his in-depth knowledge to write a story that pulls back the curtains!” He knows his stuff!
— ANDERSON HARP, Author of Northern Thunder, Retribution and Born of War
“Anderson delivers nonstop, gripping suspense. An explosive thriller drawn from the author’s incredible expertise.”
— ALLAN TOPOL, Author of Washington Power Play

Anubis

As if the slaughter of thousands of U.S. citizens in Baghdad wasn’t enough – now the Caliphate has a new plan in the highly anticipated second installment of Eric C. Anderson’s “New Caliphate” trilogy. Anubis picks up where Osiris left off, on an incendiary mission of soldiers, spies, statesmen and sellouts, all thrown together to either save the world – or see it destroyed. 

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

With the enigmatic American president dead, his hated political opponent about to be inaugurated, and ISIS attacking on multiple fronts, will America and her allies surrender to terrorists and withdraw from the Middle East? There’s only one way for More and Faheem to staunch the crisis—by calling upon More’s nemesis, the cyber-warrior ODIN. The clock is ticking as rivers of blood run through the capitals of Europe, Africa and North America.

Praise

“With his thrilling new novel, Anubis, former intelligence officer Eric C. Anderson once more takes us down the rabbit hole of the world he knows so well. Nothing is what it seems here; motives are layered with power, lust and greed, statesmen are turncoats and the double-cross is an art form. Only Anderson’s heroes, crusty USMC Master Gunnery Sergeant More and US Army Special Forces Major Faheem, can be trusted to pause their disgust for each other long enough to wreak havoc on the enemy. Anderson’s twisty plotting, taut dialogue and clever character commentary remind us of Joseph Heller’s Catch-22, and his book about the horrors facing our modern world is equally one for the ages.”
— STEVEN HARTOV, New York Times bestselling author of In the Company of Heroes

Horus

The United States has barely recovered from the last round of terror in the streets—now an exhausted president must deal with the specter of nuclear horror. Horus concludes the thrilling “New Caliphate” trilogy begun with Osiris and Anubis, as megalomaniacs battle zealots and America is once again caught in the crossfire. 

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

With ISIS on its heels and the Caliph on the run, Turkish strongman Recep Erdogan seizes the opportunity to revive the Ottoman Empire. However, the Kurds refuse to get out of his way, poison gas is in play, the jihadi faithful have set Europe aflame, and somehow cyber-criminal ODIN has again found his way to a keyboard. More and Faheem join the fray, only to discover that the North Koreans have sold off nuclear cruise missiles to terrorists intent on using them. Can they somehow stop these madmen before mushroom clouds light up the world?

Praise

Horus is a keenly focused, expertly crafted international thriller etched from the distracted landscape of the Western world…”

Final Flight

Former Air Force maintenance officer Jason Montgomery and his partner, Rob “Ski” Kalawski, have just hit the big time. China Air’s aging fleet of Boeing 777s desperately needs navigation hardware and software upgrades, a multimillion-dollar contract. Easy Street, right?

Wrong. The Japanese firm supplying the gear for the upgrade knows that the Chinese are looking to reverse-engineer their gear, creating a high-flying case of industrial espionage. To prevent this, they’ve implanted a deadly bug in their navigation upgrade package, to be triggered a the first sign of theft.

No longer just the middleman between corporations, Jason’s now caught between murderous Japanese and Russian mobsters, as well as a tattooed femme fatale executive, each trying to survive the other in a web of spin and profit from historic aviation disaster. 

Final Flight is an eerily prescient tale from the forward-looking author of the ISIS-themed “New Caliphate” trilogy and cyber-thriller Byte, that will make you think twice before flying. 

Praise

“The way we trust airplanes to deliver us safely is a leap of faith that Eric C. Anderson shatters in his newest edge-of-the-seat thriller. In the rocket-paced world of Final Flight, Anderson leads us to believe that airline passengers are merely pawns in a war between aircraft maintenance companies, intellectual property thieves, and organized crime. And he does it so well that readers will find themselves weak in the knees at their next TSA strip search. Final Flight, is a thriller not to be missed.”

Byte

Her friends call her “Roller” because of her wheelchair, but the witty, wise-cracking, pistol-packing agent is better known at the CIA as “the Veterinarian.” She’s the woman dispatched to cage big dogs and bring the bits and bytes to heel. 

When Roller’s superiors discover the balance of power between the U.S. and Russia is about to run off the rails, she’s called upon to head a cyber-strike team and face off with her arch-nemesis, a female hacker from the depths of the Dark Net. There’s $50 billion of oligarch money at play, bitcoins to intercept, and evidence of a surging cyberattack on global infrastructure that could kill thousands. 

Some days it just doesn’t pay to roll into work. 

Praise

“Former intelligence officer Eric C. Anderson really hits his stride with Byte, his third insider novel about geopolitical insanity and cataclysmic brinksmanship. In this caustic and brilliant narrative, Anderson takes us less than a decade into the future, where Chuck Schumer is president, Vladimir Putin is facing his own end-game, and the world is up for grabs by a coterie of oligarchs. In a mark of courage few modern writers possess, Anderson chooses as his protagonist a female, African-American, wheelchair-bound, wise-cracking, pistol packing, CIA cyber-warfare expert, and pulls it off without a hitch. This is an edge-of-the-seat thriller, from which readers will come away knowing more about cyber conflicts and crypto-currencies than they ever dreamed of, but they’ll also be sleeping less well at night. Byte is not to be missed.”
— STEVEN HARTOV, New York Times bestselling author of In the Company of Heroes
