Slay the Dragon: An Adam Weldon Thriller

An ex-Navy SEAL battles the full might of a rogue gangster nation while the very survival of American democracy hangs in the balance.

A white-knuckle, upbeat, rip-roaring story packed with suspense, ingenious escapes, and plot twists for fans of Lee Child, Vince Flynn/Kyle Mills, Mark Greaney, James Patterson, David Baldacci, A.J. Tata, Brad Thor, and Elmore Leonard.

A police officer is brutally murdered in an Oakland protest. City hall shuts down any serious investigation. Ex-Navy SEAL Adam Weldon and his cop buddy BC take up the search for the killers only to find themselves hunted, outmatched, and at risk of being killed at any moment.

Fighting for their lives, they discover the murder is part of a relentless, 40-year, “unrestricted warfare” assault on America by an implacable, seemingly all powerful foe determined to dominate the world. A sovereign state with database files on everyone and the ability to track—and kill—anyone, anywhere, at any time. Can Adam and his team—and American democracy itself—survive?

‘Slay the Dragon’ Novel Highlights US-China Tensions By John Moorlach, Epoch Times, February 16, 2023

I am a bibliophile. My reading passions are current events and nonfiction. Although I own an Ian Fleming book or two, I rarely read novels. But I particularly enjoyed the 2022 book “Slay the Dragon,” which provided a read that combined what’s currently occurring in China and the United States by using a James Bond approach.

With 50 short chapters, I decided to make this a fun daily read over some seven weeks. Starting every morning with an action-packed quick read was an energizing way to start the day. But it also provided information in the story line that is contemporaneous with current world events. It is material that you can ponder and ruminate upon during the day. Never once did I find myself saying that the message being inferred through the near-death escapes was not plausible or unbelievable. The drama kept me focused on the overall theme of the potentially serious interplay between two superpowers.

The author, William McGinnis, has a great grasp of the California Bay Area landscape and politics, as well as of mainland China. Covering both using a spy-versus-spy approach keeps the reader hooked in for the duration. Understanding current technology for the internet, drones, artificial intelligence, facial recognition, and camera surveillance provides a major leap over “Casino Royale.” But it is here, and it is discomforting.

The action hero, Adam Weldon, provides a unique perspective of becoming quickly involved in a case that resonates with recent incidents around the nation. It takes the reader on an unexpected journey that Weldon must see through to its completion. But the overarching theme provides perspectives of what could happen to the United States by a serious foreign power allowed the freedom to roam freely within this country.

Is there a backstory to what currently ails our nation? Can China manipulate the dissension and division that we are watching in our media, schools, and social media? And to what aim? Using fiction to provide facts is an intriguing writing style that may bring a little more color to your daily newspaper reading.

For a fun and thought-provoking read that feels like a blend of current newspaper articles and fictional characters providing a fuller perspective, you’ll want to read “Slay the Dragon.”

Description

“Better than Bond! Move over Ian Fleming: Best-selling author Bill McGinnis is the new king of thrilling, action filled, block buster novels that will become famous books and movies.

“Uniquely, McGinnis builds Slay the Dragon around actual world events and challenges, primarily those facing the US, often those where we are stumbling as a country. McGinnis interweaves these realistic, controversial threats into his plot and strives for world justice and peace to prevail. What a treat this is!”

“Super hero, Adam Weldon up stages James bond in numerous ways, incorporating state of the art technology that actually exists, even if you haven’t heard about it. …I can’t wait to see Slay the Dragon as a movie.”  -N. Robyn

I absolutely loved Slay the Dragon…and literally couldn’t put it down. …  A true thriller! Never a dull moment! And what an exposé of Communist China’s unrestricted warfare against America! So this is one of the rare books which is a fictional spy story, but so topical and relevant it really makes you think and wonder about how real some of the premises in the book might be.  —Ken Klages

I enjoyed the first two books. I really enjoyed the third and said on my SpyGuysAndGals website that I expected the fourth to be better still. I was write. The excitement level is really high and the adventure quotient is terrific. Adam Weldon stays a whole lot of fun and his girlfriend, Tripnee, is a blast to follow. I can’t wait for more!  –Spy Guys and Gals
