Halo of Power

What if ten unelected people controlled the destiny of all of us? What if they already do?

AN ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE, MYSTERIOUS BUDDHIST MONK & ENIGMATIC BILLIONAIRE TEAM UP TO SAVE THE WORLD IN THE LATEST #METOO INSPIRED MAL THOMAS MYSTERY

Since Jeremy D. Holden introduced readers to one of contemporary fiction’s most charismatic new protagonists in his 2016 novel Sea of Doubt, advertising executive Mal Thomas has been tasked with some extraordinary assignments.

From promoting the alleged second coming of the Messiah (and becoming an accidental spiritual guru in the process) to launching a massive global PR campaign to promote one of the most seismic events in human history (the truth is out there… in 2017’s Valley of Time, that is), Mal’s eerily timely, often laugh-out-loud adventures have captivated readers from diverse backgrounds while earning praise from industry stalwarts including Foreword Clarion (“intelligent and imaginative”) and Kirkus Reviews (“an understated genre tale that should engage readers with its smart, lighthearted tone”).

Now, in March 2019, Mal Thomas returns for his most riveting, ripped-from-the-headlines, and risky outing yet in Halo of Power, the much-anticipated third book in Holden’s series.

A sequel that also works as a standalone novel, in Halo of Power, Mal once again teams up with enigmatic billionaire Huw Hudson (think Richard Branson meets Elon Musk plus a dash of Howard Hughes), as well as a mysterious Buddhist monk, to embark on a life-or-death battle against a shadowy organization that seeks to control untold wealth and power – and destroy the world’s great democracies and religions.

After the apparent assassination of the Dalai Lama, and in order to keep a promise to His Holiness, Mal sets on a journey that takes him from Costa Rica and Nepal to the Bahamas and the Bay of Naples, ultimately leading him into a fight for the fate of humanity and the lives of those he holds most dear.

With Holden’s signature sardonic wit and an expertly paced plot that will leave readers guessing until the final pages, Halo of Power poses crucial questions about the powerful unseen forces that act as puppet masters behind our political leaders, the scourge of human trafficking, and the rise of nationalism and its assault on democracies and organized religion. Perhaps the most pertinent societal theme that’s reflected in Halo of Power, though, is that of feminism.

“The #MeToo movement was very much on my mind as I plotted the book’s surprising final reveal,” Holden shares. “I knew it would take a team comprised of one of the world’s most powerful people, alongside a master-communicator and accidental spiritual guru, to face down these sinister forces,” he continues. “And I’ve enjoyed expanding on the extraordinary relationship between Huw Hudson and Mal Thomas that was established in Valley of Time, which quickly became a fan favorite. “Hopefully reality will now follow fiction, and we’ll see a global retrenchment against the dark forces that seem to have been in the ascendency of late.
