The Gate of Horn

About the Book

THE GATE OF HORN is the second of a two volume series of novels, the first being THE GATE OF IVORY. It follows the same set of characters found in THE GATE OF IVORY through Eastern and Western geographical and historical settings made enormously large and complex by the introduction of two remarkably well educated men who wholly redefine the term “terrorist.” Pierre Mustapha and John Paris combine intellect and philosophy and brilliant science to create a unique gift for the world. Only the clear logic, actions, and astonishing courage of a unique group of adventurers can prevent this gift from producing unthinkable consequences for every living thing on Earth. This is the book for readers who prefer to have their thoughts served with humor, action, intelligence, and a measure of linguistic grace.
