The Seventh Horn
The apocalypse is not a prophecy. It is a contract.
Apocalyptic geopolitical thriller · adult · for readers of Joel C. Rosenberg, Daniel Silva and Tom Clancy
The boy who sold water at the gates of Babylon grew up to be the assassin no government admits to hiring. Then the horns began to sound. The Seventh Horn is a three part end times thriller in which the apocalypse is not a prophecy but a project: seven engineered catastrophes, each matched to an ancient warning, each pushing two exhausted alliances closer to the war somebody is paying for. From the ruins of Babylon to blacked out capitals and the gates of the Caucasus, Samir and a scholar of Revelation race to prove that the end of the world has owners, and that a warning is not an instruction.

The Line of Cain Saga
Before the vampire had a name, it had a brother.
Dark mythic fantasy · vampire origin epic · adult · for readers of Jay Kristoff's Empire of the Vampire, Anne Rice, and mythic retellings with teeth
Before the vampire had a name, it had a brother. The Line of Cain Saga is a complete four-book dark fantasy epic that begins with the world's first murder, and follows what heaven's punishment created. Cursed to walk deathless beneath the first mark, Cain becomes something no scripture recorded: the first of the immortals, the origin of every legend whispered about the drinkers of blood. Across four volumes the saga follows a single bloodline from a dying campfire in the wastes, to a hidden kingdom lit by embers, to a world-spanning empire that worships its undying kings, and finally to the red collapse that devours it all. At its centre stand two figures bound across centuries: Cain, the marked man learning what his curse truly is, and Eliora, the woman who never knelt. A dark mythic fantasy of love, damnation, hunger and empire.

Blood, Time and Judgement
In trauma, there are only three currencies that truly matter.
Nonfiction · trauma, austere surgery and the physiology of survival · by Mansoor Ali Khan
Far from the resources of the modern hospital, on warships, in field hospitals, at roadsides and in the wilderness, survival is decided by the blood a patient can lose, the time a team can buy, and the judgement of the clinician who must decide, often with too little of all three. Drawn from a career spanning operational military surgery, major trauma care and austere practice, Blood, Time and Judgement distils damage control surgery, leadership under pressure, training and expedition medicine into forty-two unforgettable lessons, each built around a single surgical aphorism a clinician can carry into the worst hour of their career. Written by a former Surgeon Commander in the Royal Navy with academic appointments in the United Kingdom and the United States, this is not a textbook.

IN TRAUMA, THERE ARE ONLY THREE CURRENCIES THAT TRULY MATTER. BLOOD. TIME. JUDGEMENT.
For surgeons, emergency and pre-hospital clinicians, military and expedition medics, and anyone who must make irreversible decisions with incomplete information.

M. A. Khan · Perch PressAbout the author
M. A. Khan
M. A. Khan writes at the meeting point of ancient warning and modern consequence. A British author with a previous career at the sharp end of military and trauma medicine, he brings a surgeon's economy and a soldier's eye to stories that range from apocalyptic geopolitical thrillers to mythic dark fantasy. His books ask one recurring question: when the old stories said we were warned, what exactly were we supposed to do about it? He writes as M. A. Khan; his nonfiction appears under Mansoor Ali Khan.
