Red Star Down
A propulsive, timely spy thriller from the critically acclaimed author of STAR OF THE NORTH
An explosive conspiracy is on the verge of detonation…
A Korean man is poisoned in broad daylight at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
A Russian intelligence officer is assassinated in a Washington hotel.
And a real-estate mogul has just become the 45th President of the United States.
The world teeters on the brink and three individuals find themselves caught up in the crosshairs:
Jenna, a seasoned CIA officer, whose past missions refuse to stay buried.
Lyosha, a student in Moscow who confronts Vladimir Putin on live TV only to suffer the consequences.
And Eric, a North Korean spy in the heart of the White House who adores the man he is working to undermine: the President.
In a world of shifting allegiances and betrayal, RED STAR DOWN is a global and gripping thriller that explores the intricate web of politics, espionage, and deception during one of the most turbulent periods in recent history.
Reviews
A richly satisfying thriller on an epic scale, magnificently conceived and brilliantly executed
A compelling and suspenseful thriller that kept me gripped throughout.
Immensely enjoyable. A rich, epic thriller in the grand tradition of Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum and Ian Fleming. This is exactly what a contemporary thriller should be: a gripping narrative with intriguing twists, vivid characters and well-drawn settings that is not merely very well researched about geopolitics but sheds new light on them too.
Heir to Frederick Forsyth… delightfully audacious spy story.
A clever, believable spy thriller. If you loved Terry Hayes's I AM PILGRIM, this is your big beach read this summer.
