Red River Seven

By: A. J. Ryan

Narrated by: Steven Brand

Seven strangers. One mission. Infinite horror.

A man awakes on a boat at sea with no memory of who or where he is. He's not alone - there are six others, each with a unique set of skills. None of them can remember their names. All of them possess a gun.

When a message appears on the onboard computer - Proceeding to Point A - the group agrees to work together to survive whatever is coming.

But as the boat moves through the mist-shrouded waters, divisions begin to form. Who is directing them and to what purpose? Why can't they remember anything?

And what are the screams they can hear beyond the mist?

Internationally bestselling fantasy author Anthony Ryan - writing as A. J. Ryan - delivers a nerve-shredding thriller in which seven strangers must undertake a terrifying journey into the unknown.

Critic reviews

“A. J. Ryan’s Red River Seven bursts onto the page like a riveting ride into a monstrous heart of darkness, starting out as a locked-room mystery and steadily stomping the gas to become an edge-of-your seat apocalyptic thriller. Gripping, fast-paced, and bloody good fun.”—Craig DiLouie, author of Episode Thirteen

“Bird Box meets World War Z in the genre-bending Red River Seven, a madly entertaining amalgam of locked-room mystery, heart-racing thriller, and terror-inducing horror show that will keep you up late into the night and darken your dreams long after you turn the last page.”—Philip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley

"Full of both suspense and action, Red River Seven is Apocalypse Now meets Resident Evil."—RJ Barker, author of Gods of the Wyrdwood

"A.J. Ryan charts a relentlessly inventive course to the dark heart of an extinction-level event. Soaked in terror and shrouded in fog, this book demands to be gulped down in one sitting. It’s Apocalypse Now ripped from its moorings, transfigured for a time when the apocalypse is, literally, now." —Andy Marino, author of It Rides a Pale Horse

Gory mystery

The way each character’s personality is revealed as you further into the story is well done. The mystery and plot twists keep you on edge from the start.

I need more.

Creepy AF and yet I cried again and again as the lives of the players unfolded in the midst of blind chaos.

Tense, thought provoking, and heartbreaking.

Steven Brand is one of my favorites and he did not disappoint.

Awesome

1 part Bourne 2 parts all you need is kill. I was a little trepidatious because I have only read his fantasy books (which I have thoroughly enjoyed) and I was worried the new genre might be a bust. Very pleased to be wrong.

Not bad

Author does show his political bias every now and then, but it isn’t too overt, although the 45th President crack will ensure I don’t further purchase any future books. Talented authors are those who don’t put their bias in there stories. Anyway, story drags a bit. It does have a good twist and doesn’t turn out like you think it will. Isn’t a series for sure.

Worst language in any AJ, Ryan book

This will unfortunately be my last Anthony Ryan book. He is the author of one of my all-time favorite books, blood song. The language in this book was absolutely horrible. I will not be able to recommend Anthony Ryan’s books any longer.
