Reseña del libro "Seven Breaths of the Dragon: The Secret History of the Gurkha-Dragon War (en Inglés)"
Our universe is stranger than we can imagine. Dragons once ruled. Most fled, escaping extinction. Others hid, underground or underwater, biding their time. Dragons will rule the surface again-when humankind destroys itself. In London, 1947, old Mary unearths a letter and foresees the return of long-lost friends. British intelligence asks, are old reports from 1891 true? Did Mary fly in a saucer? What does she know of dragons, space aliens, and shape-shifting reptilians? When Mary's friends arrive-a Gurkha soldier, a British secret agent, and an American scientist-unaged despite a 56-year absence, Mary must decide. Can she face her final great adventure? In India, 1857, psychic-medium H.P. Blavatsky shuns the Great Game between Russia and Britain. When a reptilian tricks her into sparking the Great Rebellion, she flees to mysterious Manipur, where her search for knowledge awakens an ancient dragon god. In Nepal, 1886, teenager Siriman encounters a fiery dragon. He escapes, seeking safety as a Gurkha soldier in the British army in India. Five years later, fate leads Siriman to Manipur-as a pawn trapped in a global conspiracy. In Manipur, 1891, Ethel Grimwood faces fears and rejoins her philandering husband, only to flirt with British officers and a rebellious prince. When a secret society ignites a "little war" in Manipur, the Raj sends the Gurkhas and the fates of Ethel and Siriman intertwine. At disaster's brink, Ethel leads a desperate evacuation. Abandoned, Siriman and the Gurkhas face certain death until a golden-haired "angel" appears in a flying saucer, promising safety-if the Gurkhas will fight... dragons. Read Seven Breaths of the Dragon, The Secret History of the Gurkha-Dragon War, where true-life historical fiction meets science fiction and New Age mysticism, and experience adventure in the tradition of Kipling, Haggard, Doyle, Wells, and Verne.
