Dragon Falls isn’t just a thriller, it’s an insider’s view of how cyber warfare and high-tech attacks are currently threatening our world. No one knows the details like Bob Gourley. Terrifying and utterly authentic.
- Brad Meltzer, bestselling author of The Viper
When retired Navy Commander Jack Tanner arrives in Malaysia on a cybersecurity book tour, he discovers Beijing's shadow war is far more sophisticated than anyone imagined. Chinese Ministry of State Security and their cyber operatives known as the Three Immortals are orchestrating a devastating espionage campaign combining intelligence, financial manipulation, autonomous drone swarms, and jungle-based insurgents to destabilize Southeast Asia's strongest democracy.
Dragon Falls delivers the complexity of Ludlum-inspired spy conspiracies with Clancy-style techno thriller sophistication, revealing how today's real technologies are reshaping global conflict. This is the warfare we must master if our way of life is to endure.
"A rare thriller that actually understands the battlefield- and proves it on every page. The tradecraft is real, the sequences are spot on, and the stakes are exactly where they should be: on America’s need to understand Beijing’s shadow war. Read it for the pulse; keep it for the warning order.”
- Shyam Sankar, CTO, Palantir
