"Turning down a position at its San Francisco office, MacPherson left Newsweek magazine. Moving into a treehouse in Kenya, he wrote his first novel, Protégé, about a group of former Nazis who try to take over Tanzania, which was published in 1980. The Lucifer Key, published the following year, told the story of a hacker who brings the United States and Soviet Union to the edge of nuclear war after he breaks into the Pentagon computer system. His 1984 non-fiction book The Blood of His Servants told of the search by Israeli journalist Lieber "Bibi" Krumholz for the man who killed his family during World War II. Time Bomb, published in 1986, was about the race to develop the atomic bomb. His 1994 comic novel In Cahoots was about real estate speculation in California. A story about a real-life rancher from Colorado who adopts a baby elephant was the impetus for his 2001 book The Cowboy and His Elephant. Roberts Ridge, about Navy Seals operating in Afghanistan, was published in 2005. His 2007 book Hocus POTUS was a satiric novel about the search for weapons of mass destruction, based on his reporting in a freelance assignment for Time magazine in Iraq after the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
