Dragon Fire: The Battle for the Falklands

Dragon Fire: The Battle for the Falklands

A remote and windswept South Atlantic archipelago, the Falkland Islands are a British Overseas Territory located some 400 miles off Argentina’s Patagonian coastline. Argentina calls the islands 'Las Islas Malvinas,' and has never recognized London’s authority.<br />In 1982, Argentina initiated 'Operación Rosario,' the invasion and occupation of the Falklands.<br />Although initially successful, the campaign failed, and the British were able to hold on to their remnant of Empire.<br />Despite defeat, however, Argentina has never abandoned its claim to the islands…<br /><br />Argentina, nursing a wounded economy, coveting the Falkland’s rich oil deposits, and influenced by a former Nazi, invades once again!<br />Arrogant, pedantic, and cool as a cucumber, Captain Fryatt must get HMS Dragon--an advanced British guided-missile destroyer--to the waters off the remote islands. However, in her path stands ARA San Luis II, an ultra-quiet Argentine diesel-electric submarine commanded by Capitán de Navío Jaime Matias. A battle of tactics, technology, and wits unfolds as both crews fight for the future and glory of their nation, and, their very lives...<br /><br />“Dragon Fire” is an exciting action-filled naval thriller. The novella represents the second of the author’s “Battle for the Falklands” series, and takes place during the first part: “Crown Jewel.” However, it can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone read. <br /><br />BOOK THREE IS COMING SOON!
