Synopsis

World War III is a few months month old. After attacking, and sinking the Destroyer USS Stacy Heath, the Chinese seize control of Nepal and Bhutan and push into India where the Allies manage to stop them. But for how long? Pakistan is attacking from the north—and China is preparing for the "big push" from the east.

Worse yet, China's Ministry of State Security has orders to assassinate the Dalai Lama, rather than run the risk that he will inspire a Buddhist rebellion in Tibet.

As a team of assassins close in on the Dalai Lama, Green Beret Captain Jon Lee and his men are behind Chinese lines in Nepal, battling to rescue a downed fighter pilot before enemy troops can capture him.

The entire subcontinent is at risk if the assassins succeed . . . And, if the region falls, hundreds of thousands of people will die—even as millions more are lost to the Axis.

Together with a self-centered army doctor named Wendy Kwan, and a team consisting of both green berets and Gurkhas, it will be Lee's responsibility to navigate treacherous terrain—and prevent Chinese Agent Fan Tong and his special ops team from changing the course of the war.

When it comes to Hannibal Lecter, I’m like one of those music hipster douche bags that everyone hates because I’ll snootily declare that I knew about him long before most people did and that he’s sucked ever since he got really famous. I’d read this years before the book of The Silence of the Lambs......more

Loved this book. This book is vivid and very memorable. It precedes Silence of the Lambs, (another great read). A movie, Manhunter was based on this book. Michael Mann directed (love Mann movies). Its a great movie but the book, as always, was better. The point of view of the antagonist was beautifu......more

I recall reading somewhere once of Stephen King - a typically and not always kindly outspoken opinionist - commenting that Harris could tell a darn good story, but he was a lousy writer. When I began this book, I guess I could see where he was coming from. The writing feels oddly clunky and does not......more

Goodreads review by Jess☺️ on July 08, 2019

Red Dragon by Thomas Harris is the first in the Hannibal Lector series. My god what a creepy start it is. The addiction for this book starts right from the first page and keeps you gripped untill the last, we only get snippets of Hannibal and when he does show you can just feel the chills forming 😲 Fr......more

Goodreads review by Alejandro on March 30, 2018

Hannibal Lecter rises! This is the first novel about Dr. Hannibal Lecter, introducing the character. MINDS ALIKE You never know what path a novel will take, specially when this becomes the beginning of a book series. When you're reading you could think that Will Graham would be the "hero" of thi......more
