Publisher's Summary:
As a lieutenant in the US Marine Corps - as handsome and cocky as Richard Gere - Michael Stuart was once considered an officer and a gentleman. But thats all changed. Now hes seen as a renegade, a traitor, and a thief. Stuart is a man without a country...and perhaps without a prayer. Why? Because in a daring plot to foil the Japanese puppet regime in China, he set out to reinstate the countrys true emperor. Known now as The Red Dragon, Stuart is a soldier of fortune in war-torn Manchuria - and a man of honor in a world of treachery. Stuarts latest adventure takes him from Peking to the Great Wall and beyond. Hes in a race against time and against the Japanese super-spy known as the Hell-Cat, both of them in hot pursuit of an elusive black chest. For Stuart, the ultimate prize is one filled with mystery, power, and treasure - not only in the chest itself, but in the love of the beautiful woman who has sent him on this mission....
It was on Hubbards second journey to East Asia that he met British Secret Service agent, Major Ian MacBean, who introduced him to "The Great Game", the geopolitical tug-of-war between China, Japan, and Britain. Hubbard also learned of the trade in stolen Chinese treasures, and was exposed to the secret criminal society known as The Red Dragon - inspiring this story of the same name. He has captured a singular time in this storied land.

Robin Hood Meets Zorro Hero
In between my longer reads, I like being able to toss in a little something else to mix it up.
Something short and attention grabbing that breaks me away from my usual read before starting another.
Which is why I like the pulp fiction stories by L. Ron Hubbard.
The Red Dragon was a great, short read with a hint of mystery, action, and of course a little love.
I love that the characters are never fully defined so the tall, dark, and handsome Red Dragon reminds me sort of like Zorro... or Robin Hood. He's kind of the "steal from the rich to give to the poor" kind.
Ms. Sheldon was no lady either. She stepped right into the action without any hesitation that a typical woman may have in that era.
I really enjoyed this one. It was a fun read that I couldn't put down.
If you are looking to mix up your reading list a little bit, this is definitely one I would recommend checking out - it's short, fun, action packed with a bit of love (but not enough to be gushy) with a bit of handsome cowboy tossed in it!

Love listening to L Ron Hubbard's stories
Full of Suspense in far off lands
I received "The Red Dragon" through Library Thing Early Reviewers. "The Red Dragon" by L. Ron Hubbard is about Michael Stuart, a former U.S. Marine Corps officer. His career ended when after a failed attempt to return the Chinese Imperial Dynasty to power in 1930's Asia. Abandoned by his country he is unable to find a safe passage out of his China by land or sea.
Now Stuart, also known as the "Red Dragon" has a new occupation: he intervenes in matters for the good of the people. Stuart agrees to help a beautiful young woman search for a mysterious black chest which her father hid in Manuchuria before his death.
