Red River Seven is a fast-paced, short novel exploring what happens when seven individuals wake up without their memories traveling on a boat that they cannot control. As the characters uncover information, it is revealed that they are humanity's last hope to save the world. I didn't think this book brought anything groundbreaking to the genre, but it was exciting, thrilling, and tense at times. It was an enjoyable read, and while it was not the best read, I would recommend it to people looking for a short mystery/thriller.
