Check out “River Runs Red” by the amazing Jeff Mariotte
Jeff Mariotte is a very talented author and someone I call a friend. He wrote books about CSI:Miami, Supernatural, Las Vegas, Andromeda, Charmed, Angel and Buffy (which I totally loved).
His newest book “River Runs Red” is the second book of the trilogy, following his book “Missing White Girl”.
The book is a horror epic about the beginning and end of the world, magicians, spies, journalists, and gods, and the rivers that connect it all.
This book sounds like a very good book to me.
But if you don’t believe me, here’s what other authors had to say about it:
“Based on actual government programs, Jeffrey Mariotte’s RIVER RUNS RED is a fascinating blend of espionage and the occult with several jaw-dropping plot twists and one of the best action sequences I’ve read in a long time.
“
–David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE and CREEPERS
“In RIVER RUNS RED, Jeff Mariotte seamlessly weaves our modern and ancient terrors into a breathless, fascinating novel of magic, murder, and friendship.
Mariotte’s one hell of a writer, and this is his best work yet!”
–Christopher Golden, author of THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN
“From creation to the apocalypse by way of El Paso: Jeffrey J. Mariotte lures you out onto the surface of a real world that cracks like thin ice, plunging you into the bizarre. More than anything, RIVER RUNS RED reminds me of smart, literate video games like “Fear Effect” and “Indigo Prophecy,” where you start out investigating a murder and end up trying to save the universe.
“
–Andrew Klavan, author of EMPIRE OF LIESS
“A brisk and twisting thriller that builds to an intense climax. Mariotte stirs a rich cast of characters into his wicked black kettle, dashes in some supernatural spice, and serves up a satisfying stew. Mariotte delivers once again.
“
–Scott Nicholson, author of THEY HUNGER
“With a cast of monsters and madmen, psychics and government spooks, ghosts and (yes) gods, RIVER RUNS RED is a thriller of apocalyptic proportions. Mariotte’s latest reads like a clock-slamming game of fastblitz supernatural chess played out on a board stretching from the dungeons of Iraq to the deserts of the American Southwest. With an endgame fought on the dark rivers of the human soul, it’s a battle at once mythic and personal… and a surefire checkmate for readers everywhere.
”
–Norman Partridge, author of DARK HARVEST
“Mariotte can flat out write. This is a smart, fast, terrific read. This river runs.
”
–Don Winslow, author of THE WINTER OF FRANKIE MACHINE and THE DAWN PATROL
