Red War

Very timely subject matter. Setting that aside, I'm glad to see Russia become the villains of recent novels again. I'm beyond tired of religious extremists being the go-to antagonists of the genre. Maybe I'm showing my age—maybe it's just time to mix things up again.

In any case, Rapp is back. He's more of a team player than ever before. That seems like an evolution for the character as well. Some of the recent character shifts and turns become absolutely pivotal in this book. Mills manages this with a skill that demonstrates his intimate understanding of characters, some of which were his and some who predate his work on the series by many years. This is an interesting challenge for an author and I'm continually impressed.

Another 5-star release for the series!
