Samenvatting:

As a lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps—as handsome and cocky as Richard Gere—Michael Stuart was once an officer and a gentleman. But now he"s seen as a renegade, a traitor and a thief. He"s a soldier of fortune in war-torn Manchuria and a man of honor in a world of treachery. Now, in a race against time and a Japanese super-spy, he"s in pursuit of the mystery, power, and treasure contained in a mysterious black chest . . . and in the love of a beautiful woman.

It was on Hubbard"s second journey to East Asia that he met British Secret Service agent, Major Ian MacBean, who introduced him to "The Great Game," the geopolitical tug-of-war between China, Japan, and Britain. Hubbard also learned of the trade in stolen Chinese treasures, and was exposed to the secret criminal society known as The Red Dragon—inspiring this story of the same name. He has captured a singular time in this storied land.

"Hubbard delivers a tidy finale that shows why he was one of the most popular genre writers of his generation." – Publishers Weekly
