Book Description
An old Tibetan monk has presented Paul and Sarah Manhart—the world’s only husband and wife cryptozoology team—an unusual gift: a claw from a pterosaur Paul identifies to have lived during the time of the dinosaurs. The problem is that the claw is less than sixty years old, enticing them to embark on a expedition to the “rooftop of the world” to see whether others of its kind still roam the rarified air of Tibet. Only they hadn’t bargained on getting caught up in a treacherous game of cat and mouse between the Chinese Army and winged creatures that are as vicious as they are terrifying. Forced to not only fend off creatures capable of killing with a single snap of their jaws but also the efforts of opportunistic Chinese Army officers intent on seeing them dead in an effort to cover up their own nefarious deeds. Fortunately, they find an unlikely ally in the guise of a surly and ruthless colonel named Deng, the only man capable of providing them their only chance at survival—if they aren’t already too late.

Pages : 223
Book Description
An American soldier in Vietnam is guided through the war by a supernatural spirit in Robert Goswitz’s The Dragon Soldier’s Good Fortune. Pvt. Ed Lansky is a fresh recruit in Vietnam, trying to navigate his way through the war-torn region. It will take more than basic training to survive dangerous missions through the oppressive heat of the jungles against the tactics of an unpredictable enemy. From Sergeant Chen, whose arms are covered in dragon tattoos, Lansky learns how the Dragon Spirit protected the Vietnamese from evil specters in ancient times. Skeptical of Chen’s true belief in the country’s Dragon power, Lansky chooses to place his faith in the recreational drugs circulating among the troops to cope with his tour of duty. But in time he learns that there is something greater watching over him, keeping him safe from the horrors of war and healing his pain. A large, green dragon has seemingly bonded with Lansky, making him realize that this Vietnamese Spirit is no myth, and embraces his protector. Pvt. Vernon Huddle is suspicious of Lansky’s continued, unscathed survival in battle after battle. As Lansky receives medals and media recognition for his heroics, Huddle believes his uncanny success portends an approaching apocalypse that may consume their very souls. And as the war worsens for last remaining American infantry in Vietnam, Lansky wonders why the country’s Dragon Spirit chose him—and if its power will see him safely home . . .
