Master of Dragons - Paperback

by E. Hoffmann Price (Author)

In the tense months before Pearl Harbor, American Naval Intelligence agent Gil Jordan prowls the waters off Port Darwin, posing as a drifter while gathering intelligence on Japanese pearling boats that are mapping Australia's coastal defenses. When his cover is blown, Jordan finds himself a prisoner of the mysterious Master of Dragons-a ruthless Japanese spymaster whose network stretches across the Pacific.

With war just hours away, Jordan must match wits with an enemy who seems to anticipate his every move. His only potential ally is Marcelle, a beautiful woman whose loyalties remain dangerously uncertain. As the clock ticks toward the attack that will change the world, Jordan faces an impossible choice: betray his country or die in an unmarked grave on a jungle airfield.

A white-knuckle thriller of espionage and desperate action in the final hours of peace.
