RED Hotel (1) (The Red Hotel) Paperback – May 26, 2021

This book mirrors much of what is happening in the news now. The authors did some amazing research. A must read for political thriller enthusiasts.

Rooted in factual data, the story imparts a relevant and important message. I found it tedious reading in places and highly repetitive. The characters are well developed and action sequences are quite detailed. The planning sessions droned on unduly, and, overall, I think some judicious editing would make it more palatable to readers.

The background is based on history and current events while the story is fiction. The reader will associate with recent news reports. It jumps around as concurrent events are reported. But this fiction is an easy read and covers more or less plausible if not probable circumstances of geo political happenings.I like the weight and feel of the paperback.

Yes, this manuscript is technically a novel but the two authors' too long to review resumes reflect true realities that every vacationer and traveler must embrace in deference to rapidly evolving dangers endemic to contemporary changes.Page 138 reports that, on average, a hotel somewhere in the world is attacked every fourteen days killing or injuring at least a half dozen individuals.Chapter 25 informs readers that some 59 terrorist groups exist and operate somewhere in the world with passions and religious doctrines. Hotels represent soft targets because so many rooms present enclaves of secure believers with daily habits of opportunity for terror strikes. Prostitution and hotel rooms are frequently synonymous and offer predicted opportunities for terror targets.For the lengthy descriptives of this book's authors, pages 516 and 517 are the best recommendations for this very authoritative manuscript.

I wished I could give it a 4 1/2.... liked it a lot, but didn’t love it... My main issues were connected. I found the narrative building too slowly, and at times in a repetitious way. That made the book in my opinion 50/100 pages too long.On the positive side however, it’s very topical and realistic. I live half the year in hotels, and I wished there was more security concerns in many locations. The characters were well defined, and believable. The ending a bit of a let down, though...

The subject is relevant today as we wait to see what will happen with Russia and Romania. Good timing on this book.

Gripping, timely and accurate. An excellent read. Hard to realize how vulnerable world travelers are todayHope your read was as exciting as mine.

I enjoyed the book. As someone who has been in the hotel business for a long time, it was interesting to read. Although obviously fictional, it rang true with the descriptions of behind the scenes situations. I have also just finished reading Blowout by Rachel Maddow which meshed quite nicely with this.

Personal read and look forward to the follow titles

This book was perhaps a touch too long, but nicely put together and definitely worth a read. I’d recommend it to anyone who likes the Tom Clancy type of story.

Red Hot story well thought out and keeps the reader engaged. Can wait to read the next book in the series
