Red Strike

A Luke Ryder Novel

By: J. Benedict

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Caracas is a city on the edge.

Cartels rule entire districts.
Foreign intelligence services move freely in the shadows.
And the U.S. Embassy has become a target.

When intelligence intercepts suggest an imminent threat against the American diplomatic mission in Venezuela, a covert security team is quietly brought in to reinforce protection for the U.S. ambassador.

That team is Aegis.

Led by former Army Ranger Luke Ryder, the elite group of former special operations operators is tasked with a delicate mission: protect the embassy, secure the ambassador, and stabilize the security situation without triggering an international crisis.

But the threat building in Caracas is far more dangerous than anyone realizes.

Iranian intelligence operatives are already inside the country.
Weapons are moving through cartel smuggling networks.
And a shadow alliance between Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and regional militias is preparing a devastating strike against American interests.

As Luke and his team dig deeper, they uncover a covert operation designed to ignite chaos in Venezuela—and send a violent message to Washington.

When the attack finally comes, Caracas erupts into a battlefield.

Embassy convoys are ambushed.
Explosions rip through the city.
And heavily armed militants descend on American personnel.

Outnumbered and cut off inside one of the most dangerous cities in the world, Luke Ryder and the Aegis team must fight to protect the ambassador and evacuate American diplomats before the situation collapses into full-scale war.

But stopping the attack won’t be enough.

To end the threat, Luke will have to take the fight directly to the men who planned it.

And that will require a RED STRIKE.
