Red River

In Red River, the seventh volume of the Winds of War series, Lieutenant Commander Leo Baxter and his Riverines face fierce Axis forces across the Gulf of Oman, the Gulf of Aden, and the Niger River in Africa. As they strive to rescue Nigeria's kidnapped leader, Abeo Kabir, they contend with opposition from both the vice president and the terrorist organization Boko Haram, as well as a Chinese diplomat aiming to install a puppet regime. The unfolding conflict poses a dire threat; failure could allow China to gain a military foothold in Africa, leaving the Nigerian people under a tyrannical rule.
