The Dragon Tamers

About the Book

The Dragon Tamers, a techno-thriller based on the historical events of WWII that led to the first atomic bomb, is a spell-binding story of espionage and romance.

When physicist Michael Eriksson returns from his OSS mission in Nazi occupied Norway, he joins the Manhattan Project’s frantic effort to beat the Germans in the race to develop an atomic bomb. At Los Alamos he’s on another secret mission. But the hunter becomes the hunted. Nazi, Klaus Kriegmann, has successfully infiltrated Los Alamos. He’s determined to sabotage the test of America’s first atomic bomb and he has sworn to make Eriksson die a slow and painful death.

Eriksson and his lover Kathleen O’Connell, are trapped near the shot tower. The countdown is in progress and time is running out. A blinding flash lights up the night. A giant, angry, boiling, red hemisphere erupts on the horizon, sending a powerful shock wave racing across the desert floor. Eriksson knows there’s only one chance for them to survive.
