Code Red

In this intense and current chapter of the #1 New York Times bestselling series by "one of the best thriller writers on the planet," Mitch Rapp makes a comeback to become a deadly enemy of Russia (The Real Book Spy).Mitch Rapp detests having to repay favors, especially to the most formidable criminal syndicate in the world. But Mitch has an obligation to answer Damian Losa's call. It seems that the Syrian government has developed a brand-new, highly addictive drug that it intends to export across Europe. Losa's business is seriously threatened, and he is resolved to send someone to use any means required to maintain his leadership. Rapp is the ideal candidate for the task. He's not only highly experienced in the Middle East, but he's also completely disposable. As Rapp enters Syria's war-torn region, he soon learns a startling fact. Damascus is not manufacturing the new medication to support the government's crumbling finances. Rather, it was developed as a weapon against the West by Russia's asymmetrical warfare organization, not for financial benefit. More than just Damian Losa's interests are at risk, so Rapp comes up with a desperate scheme that thrusts him and his group onto a battlefield where the US is essentially helpless and allegiances are changing by the hour. Furthermore, if Russia finds out about their scheme, it will trigger a conflict between the two nations that has the potential to alter the path of human history.
