Follow the Dragon, an historical novel of British Hong Kong, hurtles from true events in south China during WWII to thirty-five years later in the colorful British colony.
In 1980 Jake Salter returns to Hong Kong for his father's funeral and vows to unearth a problem cryptically hinted in their last phone call. Jake finds secret WWII journals with his dad's personal wartime history: the British SOE's Operation Remorse and the British Army Aid Group -- the BAAG. The enlightening entries include saving the life of Commander M.T. Kwan.
Kwan, now an elderly billionaire called the Dragon, convinces Jake to step in for his deceased father to help confront an existential threat, resulting in Jake risking his life on an outlying island during a typhoon and facing a dogged Royal Hong Kong Police Inspector's related investigation. Jake and Kwan realize their family names and fortunes may encounter monumental disaster as his dad's cryptic problem is revealed.
