Red Mist

By Sam Mitani

GENRE : ACTION & ADVENTURE

On a secret DEA anti-drug mission, former U.S. Navy intelligence officer Maximilian Koga is attacked by a radical Islamic terror group and many of his DEA teammates are killed. Koga, the only survivor, is taken prisoner and tortured for several days—only to be broomed from the DEA due to mental trauma suffered during his captivity. One of his disorders is a form of synesthesia that causes his vision to take on a red tint when he’s under fire—similar to the “red mist” experienced by racing drivers when they lose all sense of self-preservation to win a race at any cost.

Then come the mysterious visits from his dead colleagues.
What do they want? What do they have to say?

Max must prevent a terror attack at the Los Angeles Auto Show and rescue an FBI agent who’s been kidnapped to China. At an abandoned airfield outside of Beijing, the stage is set for a showdown with North Koreans, a Mexican drug cartel, and Chinese military officials fueled by greed and ambition.

Wow. A very layered, well-written story with a few twists and turns I didn’t see coming. This is some black black ops craziness. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.

If you ever thought auto shows were boring, step into the fertile mind of Sam Mitani. Mitani was International Editor at Road & Track magazine for 22 years, so when he writes a spy novel set in the pampered world of car writers, he knows whereof he speaks. Mitani takes former Navy Commander Max Koga, forced to retire because of psychological trauma, [and has him] pursuing a web of bad guys ranging from terrorists to drug cartels. Mitani has bitten off a big piece of press-program dinner salad here. Does he carry it off? Yes!

Max Koga moves through a world of danger! Mitani has a keen eye for detail, crisp realism and wound-tight action that will make Red Mist a thrill ride

Talk about a roller-coaster ride! Sam Mitani sends you on one, where the pages fly through your fingers as you search for the next secret surprise. Being a seasoned martial artist, his description of the fight scenes was very real.
