Terror Red
Hunt and Hunsinger have the military and political backgrounds to make their first effort together a great page-turning experience. Colonel David Gibson, a retired special-ops officer, drops his mom off at Logan Airport in Boston while Christina Marchetti, a political consultant, is dropping off her sister. The pair’s relatives are on the same plane, and shortly after it leaves the tarmac, it stops on the runway. The airport quickly closes down, and the colonel and Marchetti start working together to save their loved ones from deadly hijackers. But the plane is only a small part of a much larger plan to instill fear and chaos into the U.S. citizenry. With the narrative jumping back and forth between the two protagonists, the colonel and Marchetti must use their different skills and connections to stop the conspiracy. The relentless pacing and full-bodied characters make Terror Red a must for thriller fans. Readers will be clamoring for a sequel. --Jeff Ayers
