A Novel by Tom Anthony
Al Qaeda terrorists are spreading silently throughout the globe wreaking violence on all who oppose them. Their newest target: the small Philippine island of Mindanao.
On the brink of civil war, success in Mindanao would trigger a chain reaction across the pacific threatening democracy and peace around the globe.Haunted by the failure of his last mission and the lost lives of his team, Thomas Thornton had hoped to escape his former life as a military operative, seeking the calm beauty of tropical Mindanao.
Hi there, my name is Tom Anthony, author of Rebels of Mindanao, a novel I wrote in 2008 after returning from my home at the time on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. I have lived and worked in Austria, Italy, Spain, England, Iraq, Israel, and throughout Asia, Latin America, and Africa, and for three years on the island of Mindanao in the southern Philippines. The novel is set there, and follows the main character Thomas Thornton in a fast-paced military thriller. The character has only a loose similarity to myself, however my hope is that this site and the blog will provide a resource not only about the book and myself, but also as an informative source of information from my musings about beautiful Mindanao and Philippine culture from my “expat” cultural perspective.
Feel free to comment and contact me; let’s engage in meaningful dialogue and I am eager to hear what you think about the book, Philippines culture, Mindanao or the topic of terror in the world today.
