Gary Grossman and Ed Fuller have penned a great political thriller, featuring a heavy dose of action, in Red Chaos (Beaufort Books).

Dan Reilly is back in this latest addition to the Red Hotel series, aptly named since Russia supplies the bad guys. Reilly isn’t your typical action hero, having cut his teeth in both the intelligence and corporate worlds. But he proves once again to be up to the task when the US faces a devastating plot hatched by a Vladimir Putin stand-in. Reilly is dealing with assassination attempts galore as the centerpieces of a plan meant to rebuild the old Soviet empire.

Red Chaos is marked by superb writing and research. Grossman and Fuller have made their third effort in the series an outstanding one.
