Reviews"Is there anyone who can write this kind of book better than Larry Bond? I don't think so. He is the master of the techno-thriller. More than that, he always gives me something to think about. I may be repeating myself when I say he's done it again, but folks, he's done it again." --William Martin, New Yok Times bestselling author of City of Dreams "The technothriller has a new ace and his name is Larry Bond." --Tom Clancy, bestselling author of Without Remorse "Action on every page. Maybe in every paragraph." --Kirkus Reviews on Larry Bond's First Team "[A] fast-paced, complex thriller." -- Publishers Weekly on Larry Bond's First Team: Angels of Wrath "No writer living can produce the depth of political intrigue like Larry Bond." --Clive Cussler

SynopsisLarry Bond's Red Dragon Rising: Blood of War, an explosive new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Larry Bond. As depression and drought wrack China, the country's new premier has launched a deadly war with Vietnam. The assault has left the world on the precipice of disaster.... U.S. Army Major Zeus Murphy disobeys his commander and plunges headlong into the conflict, leading the Vietnamese in a covert attack against the Chinese army massing on the border. If the gambit fails, China will roll over Vietnam--and Zeus will lose the only woman he has ever loved, kept prisoner in a secret base north of Hanoi. In the South China Sea, the USS McLane becomes a deadly pawn in a game of international chicken between the U.S. and China. If the American ship won't leave, the Chinese are prepared to sink it. Vietnam prepares a doomsday weapon that will not only extract revenge but render much of Southeast Asia uninhabitable for decades. Hoping to prevent this, the U.S. President sends SEAL Lieutenant Ric Kerfer to destroy the weapon. Operating on land and sea, American heroes are caught in a desperate struggle to prevent the unthinkable from becoming reality. But are they enough to turn back the might of the rising Red Dragon? This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market paperback., CIA officer Mara Duncan is on assignment in bomb-torn Hanoi. Her task---get scientist Josh MacArthur and a seven-year-old witness to Chinese atrocities in Vietnam out of the country safely. They are pursued by a relentless Chinese monk turned commando who can call on the entire Chinese secret service in Vietnam for help. Their escape is further complicated when SEALs helping Mara, gun down Vietnamese soldiers, making them wanted by both China and Vietnam. Meanwhile, U.S. Army Advisor Zeus Murphy is given an impossible task: Prevent the Chinese from landing on Vietnam's coast. Heeding the President's advice to "think outside the box," he concocts a daring mission into the heart of the Chinese fleet in the harbor at Hainan. This operation will go down in the annals of SpecWar history as either one of the most daring triumphs of all time or one of the most foolish suicide raids ever attempted. Or maybe both.
