Description
Intelligence experts and thriller authors concur: Red Deception is “A page-turner by authors who might as well sit on the National Security Council.” When terrorists bomb bridges across the country and threaten the Hoover Dam, the vulnerability of America’s infrastructure becomes a matter of national security. But Dan Reilly, a former Army intelligence officer, predicted the attacks in a secret State Department report written years earlier—a virtual blueprint for disaster, somehow leaked and now in the hands of foreign operatives.

With Washington distracted by domestic crises, Russian President Nicolai Gorshkov sends troops to the borders of Ukraine and Latvia, ready to reclaim what he feels is Russia’s rightful territory. Tensions in Europe threaten to boil over as a besieged American president balances multiple crises that threaten to upend the geopolitical order. With the US at the mercy of an egomaniacal leader, and reporters and covert agents on his tail, Reilly may be the one man who can connect the dots before an even bigger catastrophe unfolds.

Red Deception is the second book in the Red Hotel series.

MY REVIEW:
When I first read Red Hotel I was blown away by the accuracy and imagination of these great authors.

However, Red Deception is everything I expected and more! This is truly a winner.

Fuller and Grossman together are the new Tom Clancey.

In this book, Dan is still flying around the country ensuring his hotels are secure for guest. However, someone that you would not expect has other plans. Soon, we see how really these incidents can happen in today's reality. Red Deception captivates you and does not let go. It is a thrill ride in which you hold your breath until the very end.

What an amazing and excellent storyline. Bravo to Ed Fuller and Gary Grossman for an excellent novel.

Hope you are hard at work for the next book. I need to know what happens next!

Quality fiction written in a most clinical manner. There is no emotion regardless if it’s a sex scene, a high-stakes negotiation, a murder or being at the scene of a catastrophe. It was the strangest experience reading this book with all of these extreme situations and feeling like I was reading a newspaper article.

New characters and settings are introduced in a most perfunctory fashion. We learn a little bit of something about each character and most of them we never hear from again. Those who are recurring never grow much beyond their original description. It’s an easy read but I don’t believe that I’ll remember much about the story in the weeks to come.

I received an ARC from NetGalley.

Wow! Best book read so far this year! A non-stop page turner featuring Dan Reilly, former U.S. Army Intelligence Officer currently employed by the Kensington Royal Hotel Group and in charge of their global security. As eastern armies begin moving into areas with established Kensington Hotels, Reilly is charged with evacuating hotel guests and staff from danger zones to safer territory. At the same time, a classified report he wrote years earlier regarding the frailties of the U.S. infrastructure is now in the hands of a U.S. adversary and they are using it as a play book for what happens next. A five-star read!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley, and the opinions expressed are my own. #RedDeceptionBeaufortBooks #NetGalley
