Rocket’s Red Glare

Rocket’s Red Glare is a standalone thriller by James Patterson, co-authored with Matt Eversmann. The story follows Nat Phillips, a former special operations leader who now heads a select team of veterans, communications experts, and intelligence officers. They are all quite experienced in overseas missions, but this time the threat happens on American soil after a presidential campaign is disrupted by a murder occurring right in their backyard. The story moves from Nantucket to Washington, DC, with the military-trained operators having to deal with a political crisis rather than their usual foreign battlefield.
