Dragon's Fury - Breath of Fire by FReeper Jeff Head has been written up in the June 17, 2002 edition of Shotgun News.
The article is on Page 73 of the Magazine and is by the owner of Fred's M-14 Stocks. He entitles it, "Breath of Fire" a Scary Book.
Here is the body of the article.
I just read a white hot new book on the start of World War III, called "Dragon's Fury - Breath of Fire" by Jeff Head.The first of five volumes, it is well worth the read because it shows how easy it would be in the world today for us to go - in a few months - from superpower to embattled ...under a threat even more massive than World War II.
Naturally, our Chinese friends are at the bottom of it, just like they will be in real life. (Before the outbreak of World War II with Japan, farsighted authors were portraying a war with Japan in prophetic fiction, one forecasting the Japanese advance on the Philipines - and the attack on Pearl Harbor! I sure hope Jeff doesn't have the same foresight, for, if he does, we are in for some rough sledding.) ...
The huge Chinese trade surplus today is financing a Chinese military build-up. The Japs were smart, tough enemies, and the Chinese are going to be tough, hard-to-beat enemies also. Truly, "those who do not remember history are condemmed to repeat it." ...
Available from Barnes and Nobles, Amazon.com or www.dragonsfury-breathoffire.com.
Get a copy. It'll scare you!
Just my opinion and I am upfront about it being one of the central messages of the entire series.
IMHO the kind of "engagement" we need with Red China is they type Reagan applied to the Soviet bloc in the eighties.

Now I am thinking more and more of conventional NY publishing houses as "the legacy publishing industry", being swept aside by custom fit and marketed self publishers using the power of the net.
We may see that change over the next few years ... and it is in the process now ... but the potential numbers through brick and mortar sales are still the highest.
Personally, I am willing to take whatever exposure for the series that I can honorably conjure up through persistance, hard work and commitment to getting it out. From there, I figure it is in the good Lord's hands.
Eagles Up!

Plenty of folks are seeing it and reading it ... if I remain persistenet, and if the good Lord is willing, I figure it will get in the hands of someone who can make a go of it if it is supposed to. Otherwise, I will be happy with whatever exposure it gets.

One of the purposes of the book is to convey good, Christian, faith-based messages, along with Constitutional messages couched in an exciting techno-thriller.
Thought you might be interested.
Let's hope it continues.
Not "in your face" but an underlying theme presented in a story that pits other persuasions (Fundsamental Islamics and atheistic Communists) against it.
At its heart it is a techno-thriller about World War III ... but the series (five books of which number two is about to be released) will touch on most social and moral issues as back drops and sub-plots to the story line.
It's an attempt to do in reverse what amoral and immoral people have done for a long time ... couch a message in an intriguing and exciting story line so people read the story and pick up on the message in the process. Except in this instance, the messages are faith based, moral and constitutional.
Hey, that's great! The books look really exciting, and I can't wait to see if we win!
Here's wishing you all the success in the world, Mr. Head. Keep up the good work!
God Bless, B-chan
