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.

BOOK REVIEWS
Praise for Red Chaos
TOM KOEHLER
“I was the commander of an F4 squadron on the USS Midway and I know what America’s Navy can do with its air power in a crisis. Having been impressed with the first two books of the Red Hotel series, I eagerly awaited reading the next volume. With RED CHAOS, Ed Fuller and Gary Grossman exceeded my expectations. Their third work is a timely fictionalization of the volatile world we live in. It is exciting and accurate; a 21st century thriller and a must read!”

ALAN ORLOB
“There have been more terrorist attacks on hotels around the world than any other target. Ed Fuller was there, lived it and dealt with it. I know. I worked for Marriott for 35 years. From 1989 to 2012 I was the Vice-President of Safety & Security on Ed’s team. Through our close relationships with key government entities we established security protocols for our international hotels (including over 200 “threat condition RED” hotels). And believe me, RED CHAOS is the first word to the last on crisis management from someone who literally wrote the book.”

LINDA PEEK SCHACHT
“RED CHAOS, Gary Grossman and Ed Fuller’s newest thriller, vividly draws us into two worlds: one where Washington’s power-hungry walk the halls, scheme in back offices, and lurk in the shadows of the White House and Congress, and another fraught with the intrigue and occasional inanities of international business. They engage us in the machinations of a talented assassin, an empire building, oil-crazed autocrat in the Kremlin, and a fixer in China. We see the morally ambivalent and morally bankrupt—from Moscow to Macau to Washington. Readers will cheer their richly drawn hero and heroine, international hotel executive and sometime spy Dan Reilly and Secretary of State Elizabeth Matthews as they continue the fight for right in this entertaining series firmly rooted in the real world.”

KATHLEEN MATTHEWS
“In RED HOTEL-and RED DECEPTION, my Marriott colleague and global nomad, Ed Fuller, brings his love of politics and his experience in the Vietnam War and deep inside knowledge of the hotel and travel industry including crisis management to build another political thriller with Gary Grossman, an acclaimed novelist and TV producer and journalist. Pour some of the current global uncertainty into this cocktail, and you have the combustion of RED CHAOS.”

WILLIAM CARWILE
“I’ve been engaged in national and homeland security for over 45 years, I seldom read fiction. When I do, it is historical fiction. It most often provides opportunities to learn interesting facts in an enjoyable way. While RED CHAOS is not an historical novel, given today’s news, it affords the reader an extremely compelling, most realistic and fast paced story. In crafting this riveting read, Ed Fuller and Gary Grossman have written a thriller that reflects their impressive knowledge of today’s strategic global dynamics. But they must be seen as prescient given the events happening at this moment: The real-world implications of climate change on global trade and national security, and the fragility of the world’s avenues for commerce. RED CHAOS is a timely must read for those seeking a book that is both stimulating and eye- opening.”
