The author, as described by the publicist: "A. Marc Ross is an international award-winning author who brings together experience from high-stakes global business, the intricacies of corporate law, and firsthand knowledge of Chinese dealings. Marc’s background is as compelling as his fiction: years spent negotiating across borders, appearances on U.S. and Chinese television, and leading lectures on business and legal issues in both countries.

His latest thriller, Attacking the Dragon, is a masterclass in suspense woven through the web of global commerce and geopolitics. The story throws a sharp spotlight on China’s Belt and Road Initiative and explores the consequences when covert sabotage threatens a superpower at the heart of the world economy. The plot’s urgency and realism stem from Marc’s own work and travels in China, giving him a viewpoint few thriller writers can claim.

Not only is the novel a gripping page-turner, but it’s already earning attention with a Runner-Up finish for Best Fiction at the Beach Book Festival and Honorable Mentions at the Hollywood, San Francisco, and Paris Book Festivals. Ross knows how to break down international business strategy and political intrigue for a broad audience, and would bring electrifying insights and stories to your listeners."
