Now, in Dragon Fire, he takes us with him into the
top-secret rooms where the fate of the world is held in the
hearts and minds of men with dangerous and hidden agendas.
Packed with action and espionage, intrigue and romance,
Dragon Fire is a riveting, intricate,
ripped-from-the-headlines thriller that so convincingly
written, readers will wonder just how much of it is
true.Upon the assassination of the Secretary of Defense,
former senator and Vietnam POW, Michael Patrick Santini, is
called upon by his President to fill the vacancy. Once
there, he discovers that the United States is under attack
by a silent, sinister force, someone determined to alienate
our allies and undermine our position as a global
superpower. But America is hours away from going to war-with
the wrong enemy. Rejecting direct orders from the president,
Santini races across the world in a desperate attempt to
prevent a catastrophic global war. When Democratic President
Bill Clinton chose Republican William S. Cohen to join his
staff in 1997 as the 20th Secretary of Defense, it was the
first time in modern U.S. history that a president selected
a member of the opposing party for his cabinet. Cohen, the
first Secretary of Defense to make biological warfare and
terrorism almost a personal crusade, was integral in
orchestrating a comprehensive strategy to deal with the
threat of terrorism. In Dragon Fire, he takes his
experience, knowledge, expertise, passion, and fears and
melds fact and fiction into a political thriller only he
could write.
