by Tim Pelkey (Author)

Revised Edition!

An American surgeon travels to Izmir after an earthquake. A Russian major extracts plutonium from aging warheads. A Turkish researcher tries to cure the incurable. A young jihadist attempts to restore the caliphate. In 1938, after a Turkish colonel hears a baby's cry and rushes into a burning mosque, four present-day storylines become entwined. Part political thriller and part medical mystery, The Ottoman Excursion tells the stories of four men swept up in a conspiracy that extends throughout the Middle East and back in time to the most elite practitioners of the art of war-the Janissaries.
