Description

2025: fourteen years after the failed revolution, Egypt is invaded by a vicious foreign militant organization called the Knights of the Republic of Malta. Former police man Ahmed Otared joins a group of fellow officers in the armed resistance and witnesses grisly violence.

This novel, originally published in Arabic in 2014, is a highly disturbing and dystopia novel, reflecting some of the hopelessness and despair of the post-revolution period.
