“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!”

Rear Admiral Paul Becker
“As the former Director of Intelligence (J2) for the U.S. Pacific Command in Hawaii and Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon, I know these dangerous scenarios are plausible, which makes RED DECEPTION all the more thrilling. Infrastructure attacks, Russian aggression, bumbling national leaders, North Korea malign activity, Venezuelan dangers – Fuller and Grossman’s exciting story mirrors reality. Oh, and the U.S. needs more heroes like their daring CIA Officer Dan Reilly!”

“Clearly a 5-star novel that should not be missed. It is terrifying that Reilly has the responsibility of rescuing the world from what in the future could be a real-life calamity. The in-depth research and Ed Fuller’s experience in dealing with international security issues made me question was this truly fiction? The plot is so current and addresses the risks we face with today’s political unrest.
Each of book in the Red Hotel series is a page turner giving new insight into the extreme efforts needed to keep our country safe.”

John Tierney
“Laced with drama culled from recent events, RED HOTEL places the reader directly into the role of intelligence analyst and operative as well as business and political strategist. Read RED HOTEL and it’s doubtful you’ll ever travel again without conjuring up possible intrigue from observations that used to seem like normal occurrences. Be suspicious staying overnight. A smart book.”

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.”

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!”

Doug Muldoon
“It doesn’t get better than RED DECEPTION for weaving true insider business and anti-terrorism experience into a heart-pumping international thriller! Ed Fuller has been there. Done it. Lived it. I’ve read all his books, and now his latest collaboration with Gary Grossman exposes more of his world and the dangers that lurk just below the surface. A political reality thriller of the highest caliber.”

“Heart pumping excitement — another page-turner from Fuller and Grossman. RED DECEPTON paints a picture of reality in our world today. Politics, economics, terrorism, travel, intrigue, deceit at home and overseas. An above the fold thriller by any measure!”

“I love how this book balances action, politics, and strategy. The global stakes feel incredibly relevant, and the multiple storylines make it impossible to put down. Dan Reilly is a fascinating character, blending diplomacy with covert operations in a way that feels fresh. The writing is crisp, the tension is high, and the twists keep coming.”

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.”

“RED DECEPTION starts with a shocking series of terrorist attacks against America, then races along at break-neck pace until the mind-blowing ending. There are inept political leaders; new threats to world peace from Russia and North Korea; deadly assassins; and secrets and betrayal everywhere. Gary Grossman and Ed Fuller have given us a must-read thriller that truly feels like it’s ripped from today’s headlines, or even scarier, tomorrow’s.”
