THE RED HOTEL SERIES

Overview

The books of the Red Hotel Series, written by Ed Fuller and Gary Grossman, wind readers through international intrigue, conspiracy, complex global politics, economics and terror.

Gary Grossman is an author of thrillers and a producer. Ed Fuller is the former President of Marriott International Hotels and former Army Captain who served in Vietnam and Germany. Drawing from the real-world experience of the authors, their protagonist, Army intelligence officer Dan Reilly, now an international hotel executive with high level access to the CIA becomes immersed in terrorism that spans the globe. From bombings in Tokyo and Kiev to disruptions in Brussels, Red Hotel follows the fast-paced efforts of Reilly in the first book of the series. In the second book, Red Deception, Riley is called into action when acts of terrorism are enacted on U.S. soil, the events soon catapult onto the world stage. Never-ending thrills on every page along with lessons of international proportion. Book three, Red Chaos, finds Russia’s Gorshkov shoring up his lucrative energy trade with China, fueling expansionism plans for Ukraine and Latvia. Red Ultimatum, to be released in February 2025, will thrill as it takes readers through a high-stakes showdown: a former president on a downed plane, international unrest, and China’s ultimatum against Gorshkov force Dan Reilly into a decisive role to outmaneuver a global crisis.

The newest editions of the thrillers are published by Laguna Hills Publishing and all formats are available exclusively at this link on AMAZON.*

Before there was the Red Hotel, there was a lifetime spent inside the world’s hotels.
Guests see calm: polished lobbies, welcoming teams, private meetings, arriving dignitaries, and the quiet choreography of hospitality.

Behind that calm is a far more complex world of security, logistics, communication, cultural differences, competing interests, and decisions that cannot wait.

This tribute video reflects the scale of Ed Fuller’s career, but also the way he led through it: with discipline, service, curiosity, and respect for the people around him.
After decades in global hospitality, Ed understood that hotels were never just buildings. They were crossroads where business, politics, diplomacy, ambition, and risk could meet under one roof.

That perspective became part of the Red Hotel Series and part of Dan Reilly’s instinct for recognizing when an ordinary detail is no longer ordinary.

COMING SOON: RED ALERT

The world is already on edge. Now imagine the pressure rising faster than anyone can contain it.

The new trailer for Red Alert, the next installment in the Red Hotel Series, brings that tension into sharp focus. International stakes. Political pressure. A threat that feels immediate. And once events begin moving, the question becomes not simply what is happening, but what happens next?

That has always been part of the DNA of the Red Hotel books: taking the forces already shaping the world and pushing them one step further.

In Red Alert, the risks are bigger, the consequences are closer, and the line between geopolitical fiction and tomorrow’s headlines feels thinner than ever.

This is only a glimpse.

Red Alert is coming soon. The Kindle version is now available for pre-sales on Amazon.

Watch the full trailer and step into what comes next in the Red Hotel Series.

Gracie makes landfall.

The resort shakes.
Guests rush to shelter.
The ballroom becomes more than a ballroom.

In Red Hotel, danger takes many forms, and leadership matters most when there is nowhere else to go.

When the storm hits, leadership is the only shelter.

Danger does not always arrive with warning.

Sometimes it pulls up beside you.

This scene from Red Hotel brings a quiet Moscow ride to the edge of something deadly, where one look changes everything.

Red Hotel
Fiction that feels real until it doesn’t.

Before there was Dan Reilly, there was a young Army officer learning that leadership is measured by responsibility, not rank.

Early in my military career, I was given responsibilities that seemed far larger than my title. There was no long runway on which to become ready. People, aircraft, schedules, security, and military operations still required decisions.
That experience taught me to study the situation, listen carefully, rely on good people, and accept responsibility for what followed.

Receiving the Bronze Star was a profound honour, but the deeper lesson stayed with me throughout my career: leadership often arrives before confidence does.
That lesson later became part of Dan Reilly. He does not wait for perfect certainty because, in his world, certainty usually arrives too late.

When were you first asked to carry a responsibility you did not yet feel ready for?

Before there was Dan Reilly, there was a young Army officer, an open road, and a Mustang with plenty of personality.
Cars have a way of marking the chapters of our lives. They carry us toward first assignments, uncertain decisions, unexpected friendships, and the person we are still becoming.
My Mustang was part freedom, part adventure, and perhaps part evidence that youth and good judgment do not always travel together.
But behind the car was a young officer learning independence, responsibility, and how quickly life can ask more of you than you expected.
Years later, some of that spirit found its way into Dan Reilly: capable, restless, loyal, and always prepared to move toward the next challenge.
What vehicle takes you back to an earlier version of yourself?

"Before there was Dan Reilly, there was Ed Fuller.

Before the international crises, covert threats, hotel corridors, and impossible decisions of the Red Hotel Series, there was a young Army officer learning how to lead when the stakes were real.

There were aircraft to move, people to protect, and decisions that could not wait.

Those experiences did more than shape a career. Years later, they helped shape a character.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing some of the real stories behind Dan Reilly and the world of the Red Hotel Series.

Some stories begin on the page. Others begin decades earlier.

What experience in your own life shaped the person you later became?

Sometimes life has been preparing you for an opportunity long before you know it is coming.
I had decades of experience in military service, global hospitality, international travel, leadership, and crisis management. Gary Grossman had built a career around journalism, television, storytelling, and the forces shaping our world.
Then Bruce Feirstein brought them together.
Bruce, known for writing the James Bond 007 films GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, and The World Is Not Enough, saw the potential in connecting us. That introduction became the beginning of a creative partnership and, eventually, the Red Hotel Series.
In this conversation, Gary shares how he became involved and reminds us that the right opportunity often arrives only after life has quietly assembled all the pieces behind us.
Sometimes being in the right place at the right time is not luck. It is everything that came before.

Reflections - Before Red Hotel, before Dan Reilly, before the global threats and hotel intrigue, Ed Fuller had another kind of front-row seat to risk.

From 1964 to 1968, Ed worked as a security officer at Boston’s Prudential Center. He has described those years as one of his most important learning times, filled with adventures that included robbery attempts, chasing robbers with the Boston police, and even the night the lights went out in Boston.

Those years taught him to watch closely. To notice what others missed. To understand how quickly an ordinary day inside a major building could become something else entirely.
In one photo, Ed is the young security guard outside the Prudential Center. In the other, taken years later, is the security robot he saw and joked had replaced him. Technology changes. Buildings change. Security changes. But the instinct to watch, listen, and recognize danger hiding in plain sight is part of the story that eventually helped shape the Red Hotel Series.

Before there was Dan Reilly, there was Ed Fuller, learning the job one post, one patrol, and one unexpected moment at a time.

Page 15 of Red Hotel and this is just the beginning....#thrillerbooks
"Scenes from Red Hotel: “This isn’t right.”

🧨 A FedEx driver turns away from the hotel entrance.
🧨 The valet shouts.
🧨 The security guard watches.
...Something is off. Takayuki Nikaido knows it before anyone else does.

In a few seconds, one decision will separate routine from disaster. One missed detail will matter. One moment of hesitation will open the door to something far more dangerous.

This scene from page 15 of Red Hotel is where the tension is just getting started.

That is the world of the Red Hotel Series, where global danger does not always announce itself with noise. Sometimes it arrives wearing a uniform, carrying a package, and walking away at exactly the wrong moment.
