Intelligence experts and thriller authors concur: Red Deception is  a page turner by authors who might as well sit on the National Security Council. When terrorists bomb bridges across the country and threaten the Hoover Dam, the vulnerability of America’s infrastructure becomes a matter of national security. But Dan Reilly, a former Army intelligence officer, predicted the attacks in a secret State Department report written years earlier. It is a virtual blueprint for disaster, somehow leaked and now in the hands of foreign operatives.

With Washington distracted by domestic crises, Russian President Nicolai Gorshkov sends troops to the borders of Ukraine and Latvia, ready to reclaim what he feels is Russia’s rightful territory. Tensions in Europe threaten to boil over as a besieged American president balances multiple crises that threaten to upend the geopolitical order. With the US at the mercy of a egomaniacal leader, and reporters and covert agents on his tail, Reilly may be the one man who can connect the dots before an even bigger catastrophe unfolds. Red Deception is the second book in the Red Hotel series.

Red Deception Review:

I admit I am not an avid reader of political thrillers, but “Red Deception” had me engrossed from the first page. This book was a whirlwind, roller-coaster ride of action, adventure, and thrills!

Firstly, I wasn’t aware that this is the second book in a series. But, after reading this, I surely want to pick up “Red Hotel” to see Reilly’s previous adventure. Reilly is terrific in the lead as he travels around the world, trying to stop the catastrophe. However, what’s lovely about the book is that it is not a one-person show. Although Reilly is the primary character, the author balances the plot with other memorable characters like Savannah, Moore, Marnie, and President Crowe. I particularly liked the conversations between Moore and Reilly. Similarly, Nicolai Gorshkov is so conniving that you wonder how far he would go to reclaim his territories.

Moreover, the author did a fantastic job with the story and will keep you on your toes. I even found some parts difficult to read because of its theme, as it could very well happen. The plot intensifies up to a point to the brink of another world war. There are so many memorable moments in the story. Some of the most intense moments were when something happens to President Crowe to jeopardize his health and when Reilly is on the bus with the hostages in Ukraine. At the same time, I also liked the personal moments where Reilly tries to spend time with Marnie.

Overall, “Red Deception” is a gripping thriller filled with political espionage, spies, and intense action. Even if you haven’t read the first book, you will thoroughly enjoy this one.
