Freeper Author Jeff Head and his series "Dragon's Fury" written up in Shotgun News
Shotgun News ^ | June 2002 | Fred

Posted on 06/06/2002 4:46:02 PM PDT by Jeff Head

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.

BREATH OF FIRE A SCARY BOOK
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!


DRAGON'S FURY - BREATH OF FIRE

Ready for #II here. I'm filling in the gap with some too-long-put-off Ayn Rand.

Orignlly it was, but Earl Grey, the British Prime Minister in the 1830's liked the blend from China so much, that he exclusively ordered it and it began to be mixed in England and ultimatley many other countries.

It was named for him.

So, though its origins are Chinese, its popularity and use are based upon and credited to England.

Our family had a good friend who was with the Airborne and parachuted in the night before. He was part of the group that fought into the town where the guys missed and got hung up in trees and on the church steeple.

Newport is a great man. Another of my heroes. He is quite and reserved ... but will share the stories. God grant that we can always have such men amongst us.

I'm knee deep in Vol I and loving it. Great research and characters without the nth degree of technical detail common in this type of book. Looking forward to the next in the series. Congrats!

Outstanding! Let me know when you get a belly full ... or when you get "neck deep" ... or if you get over your head in it! LOL!

Seriously, I hope you really enjoy all of it and look forward to your thoughts on the book as a whole.

Will have Volume II out soon. Am through Chapter six with less than one hundred or so pages to go. Look for email or Fremail.
