Seven on the Red River
A mysterious post-apocalyptic thriller from the author of the bestselling fantasy series
A ship somewhere in the middle of the ocean. A reddish mist that won't and won't thin. And seven people who had their memories erased. The moment the heroes on board wake up, they have no idea how they got on the ship, where they are going or who they are. The only clues are the scars on their heads, the fictitious names tattooed on their wrists and the arsenal of weapons in the hold. However, it soon becomes apparent that each member of the group is a specialist in a particular field and that they will have to pull together if they want to survive. But the road ahead will put their forced alliance to the test... and their most formidable enemy will be their memories.
From the author of the successful fantasy series Shadow of the Raven, Draconis Memoria, and The Covenant of Steel comes a thrilling tale from the near future that leaves the reader as confused as the characters, with new revelations and twists until the very last page.
