"The passing of Eric Anderson made reading ""Horus"" a bittersweet experience for me. Like Matthew Betley, he puts his vast professional experience to good use, this time as an intelligence specialist in Northeast Asia, which includes China and North Korea. But the multiple plot lines of this devastatingly effective thriller focus more on the Middle East and the Homeland. Anderson's death predated much of the chaos that defines Washington these days, but the events and agendas he depicts could just as easily have happened yesterday as tomorrow. The result is a keenly focused, expertly crafted international thriller etched from the distracted landscape of the Western world, highlighting our vulnerabilities and questioning our capacity for response. ""Horus"" makes for a virtual textbook on what could go wrong if we're not careful -- and maybe already has.--JON LAND, Providence Journal ""Eric Anderson uses his in-depth knowledge to write a story that pulls back the curtains!"" --Anderson Harp, author, Retribution and Born of War ""Anderson delivers nonstop, gripping suspense. An explosive thriller drawn from the author's incredible expertise."" --AllanTopol, author of Washington Power Play"
