ABOUT THE BOOK
The third international thriller in the Red Hotel Series by noted thriller writer Gary Grossman and global executive Ed Fuller.
The Arctic ice is melting, the waters are warming, and Russia’s ever-expanding fleet of oil tankers grind through the Northern Sea Route to China. With a fleet of nuclear ice breakers clearing the way, Russian ships were setting new records to reach China and fulfilling a simple equation: Russian President Nicolai Gorshkov needs China’s money to fund his expansionism plans past Ukraine and Latvia while China, the thirstiest oil nation in the world, needs affordable fuel.
But ongoing competition from the West and Middle East nations threatens Russia’s ability to monopolize the market and, as a result, Gorshkov’s military plans. In order to guarantee his success, Gorshkov initiates a devilish plot to make traditional shipping routes impassable.
Working through third-party countries, attacks shut down the Suez Canal and other key routes.
With nothing less than oil futures and the global economy at stake, one man slips into the shadows where secret information passes between two countries, affecting the future of three – the United States, China and Russia.
Dan Reilly, a freelance State Department and CIA consultant, working full-time as International President Kensington Royal Hotels, is drawn into a web of intrigue 12-years in the making involving the current American president, a United States senator, a cunning Chinese businessman, and the death of a young girl.
How the impact of these seemingly different elements has profound impact on Russia’s far-reaching plans is what makes RED CHAOS a thriller to be read like breaking news.

Praise for Red Chaos
WEBB HUBBELL
“A complex web of intrigue! Compelling and fascinating! Fuller and Grossman weave a timely tale of Russian expansionism and terrorism in RED CHAOS against a backdrop of political intrigue. You will not put this thriller down as Dan Reilly races to prevent Russian world and oil domination. The authors take you behind the closed doors of our National Security to illuminate how seemingly unrelated occurrences are part of Russia’s intricate plan. I loved this book and it holds a prized place on my bookshelf.”

“Be ready to be catapulted into the real world of international intrigue that keeps national security experts up at night. A world where leading international oil executives are assassinated. Oil tankers are sunk in the Straits of Hormuz. An attack on the Suez Canal closes shipping for a year. Who benefits from actions like these? You’ll find out in RED CHAOS by Fuller and Grossman, and all-too real scenario with heart- pumping action from Washington to London, the Arabian Sea to the North Atlantic, Russia to China. Areas where I served, that remain in the headlines today. You’ll be swept along with RED CHAOS as I did. It’s the fastest read on the shelves in a long, long time!”

“Turn off the news channels right now, crack open RED CHAOS, Ed Fuller and Gary Grossman’s incredible new thriller. Fuller has the inside track on bringing his experience in the field to the page. I know. I spent time with him in Iraq and you better believe he’s one of the best of the good guys. Together with Grossman they weave together a web of lies, murder, and treachery that reach to the highest levels of government in Washington. Back at the center of the action is international hotel executive Dan Reilly who must decide whether a nefarious Chinese fixer is trying to help America or bring it down. It all feels so real. It’s a read written from the inside out. A winner – Second Place is not close.”

Dante Paradiso
“RED CHAOS is a timely, pulse-pounding thriller that exposes the complex and dangerous web of espionage, international business, and geopolitics. Five star hotels are at the epicenter of the secret deals that shape our lives, and, as a hotel security executive, former US Army intelligence officer Dan Reilly is uniquely positioned to see what goes down in the bars, lobbies, and lavish private suites everywhere from London to Beijing. When a Russian oil magnate is assassinated at one of his London properties, Reilly launches an investigation that could expose treachery and violence at the highest levels of multiple governments — and puts him in the crosshairs of men willing to kill to cover it up. This is a tour de force by authors Fuller and Grossman that will leave readers clamoring for more.”

“Just when I thought Fuller and Grossman couldn’t turn up the heat any more after their award-winning RED DECEPTION, along comes RED CHAOS, with a spot-on, globe-hopping plot. Ed Fuller comes to thriller writing from years as an international hotel executive job. On top of that, he had a heavy dose of anti- terrorism experience. His collaboration with Gary Grossman delivers ticking clock scenarios that play out real because so much of it is real, or just on the edge of reality. RED CHAOS is a top flight thriller that will have you spell-bound from page one!”

Praise for Red Chaos in the Thrill List by Jon Land
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.
