About the Book
When a bomb rips the façade off the Kensington Hotel in Tokyo, dozens are killed and injured while one man walks calmly away from the wreckage, a coy smile playing on his lips. Former Army intelligence officer Dan Reilly, now an international hotel executive with high level access to the CIA, makes it his mission to track him down. He begins a jet-setting search for answers as the clock ticks down to a climactic event that threatens NATO and the very security of member nations. Reilly begins mining old contacts and resources in an effort to delve deeper into the motive behind these attacks, and fast. Through his connections he learns that the Tokyo bomber is not acting alone. But the organization behind the perpetrator is not who they expect. Facilitated by the official government from a fearsome global superpower, the implications and reasons for these attacks are well beyond anything Reilly or his sources in the CIA and State Department could have imagined, and point not to random acts of terror, but calculated acts of war. RED Hotel is an incredibly timely globe-trotting thriller that's fiction on the edge of reality.

"Welcome to my world. RED Hotel is a thriller that dramatically covers a very real global threat that could redraw nation boundaries and lead the superpowers to the brink of war.

"I got to know Ed Fuller in Iraq when I was Deputy Commanding General, US Forces-Iraq. RED Hotel takes me right back to our in-depth discussions, and it spells out tomorrow's threats that we better pay attention to today. Take a deep breath, jump into this novel scenario from authors Fuller and Grossman. I dare you to try to go to sleep tonight once you begin." -- Frank Helmick Retired Lieutenant General, US Army
"The luxury hotel industry is at the center of this engrossing, if windy, collaboration between Grossman (Executive Actions) and Fuller, a longtime Marriott executive and author of the business book You Can't Lead with Your Feet on the Deck. Dan Reilly, a senior v-p with the International Kensington Royal hotel chain, is trying to guide his company through the aftermath of several bombings at its hotels. Reilly is particularly worried about Kensington's hotel in Brussels, which may have been covertly cased by a Russian terrorist. Adding to Reilly's unease: the hotel is scheduled to host an upcoming meeting of NATO chiefs. As Reilly and the CIA collaborate to prevent an attack, intelligence reports suggest that Moscow is preparing to invade Latvia, and the hotel bombing could be a diversionary tactic. The long, overly complicated plot may frustrate readers used to a leaner line of action, yet it holds together well. The authors capably highlight how high-profile international hotels-where guests are typically rich or important, or both-can be attractive targets for terrorists wishing to make a statement."
