The Dragon's Fury Series by Jeff Head was recently mentioned in the January 20, 2003 edition of Shotgun News. The article is by the owner of Fred's M-14 Stocks.
Here's what he said.
Right now, we are in the pre-WWII period, fat and complacant, sure of our superpowerness. Even 9/11 did not really wake us up. We are still pouring billions in trade surplus into the Chinese military, just like we did 70 years ago with Japan.If you want a taste of what the future holds, check out Jeff Head's Dragon's Fury Series (www.dragonsfury-breathoffire.com). The first two volumes are out, and they are explosive! We are, because the entire country is alseep to history, going to repeat history once again ...
Volume I, Dragon's Fury - Breath of Fire was also written up in the June 17, 2002 edition on Page 73. The same owner of Fred's M-14 Stocks entitled his review, "Breath of Fire" a Scary Book.
Here is what he said.
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."
Very interesting, and yet extremely perilous times. Liberty has always been perilous, requiring the continual faith, vigilance and active involvement of those who value it.
My series touches on this ... resulting in an economic alliance to begin with between China and Russia during the first half of the great WW III struggle wherein China and her allies, combined with the Islamic nations, wage unrestricted warfare against the United States specifically and the west in general.
Russia attempts to sit it out, deriving huge economic benefit from playing both sides off until later, there occurs a "Barbarosa II", but this time coming from the east. That event (hopefully ithout revealing too much) takes place in the current volume I am working on, Volume III, High Tide.
As to the goal you touched on in the last statement ...
reading for pleasure and for political awareness (if the two can coexist).
The entire premise and reasoning behind the series is the postion and belief that they most certainly can coexist ... indeed that they must.
It captures in a very quick view, what the entire foundation of our nation is, and exactly what I am trying to write about in the Dragon's Fury Series.
... how in even the most horrific circumstances, the things depicted in that picture can percervier through adversity, overcome tyranny and restore and maintain liberty.
Just like the cowboys who make a flash,So, win or lose ... success by the world's standards or no ... I intend to keep plodding on and put out all five volumes. One never knows the power of just one heart that is touched and looks at things differently as a result of the message. The messages in this series, in addition to hopefully being an exciting and thought provoking techno-thriller war story regarding current events, are morally directed at just that sort of thing.
but they don't stand much of a run.They always bust in with a sweep and a dash,
when most of the work's all done.
Know you and yours are in our prayers here in Idaho. We hope you are recovering nicely and that the Grace of Him who is mighty to save shines on you all ... indeed, that it continues to shine on this great Republic.
We are entering into very perilous circumstances (in truth we have been in them for years) and I pray that God's Spirit rests on our leaders and influences and directs them through the mine field ... and that we will strive to live worthy of that same spirit so we can, in turn, insure that we have leaders who are open to such influence.
I think the content has that reach and possibility if the word can get out ... I am, sadly, lacking in advertising funds and must pretty much depend on word of mouth for the time being. But that is fine ... if it can't spread that way now, it is unlikely to spread too far the other way later either.
... outstanding!
Did anyone ever tell you that you have a way with words? (^;
I would gladly give up all of the words that I could possibly utter to insure that, in the end, those latter qualities were vouchsafed and sure ... hopefully then, whatever words flow, come out of that. That's my hope anyway.
