Bear In The Dragon’s Shadow

How do you stop a war you can't see?

Bear in the Dragon's Shadow: Where Deception Meets Strategy is a gripping military thriller that plunges readers into the shadows of modern warfare, where intelligence, betrayal, and global ambition collide.

When Matt Scales, a former elite operator turned clandestine asset, leads a high-risk mission in Ukraine, the objective is clear: capture a notorious Russian war criminal. But when the operation spirals into chaos and leaves one of his team dead, Scales is left questioning everything, including the so-called death of their target.

As political lines blur and loyalties fracture, a larger, more insidious plot unfolds, one that stretches from the burning battlefields of Eastern Europe to the digital veins pulsing through America's infrastructure. With Chinese and Russian forces weaving a coordinated act of silent war, the threat isn't just military, it's existential.

From covert firefights in Kharkiv to quiet reckonings on the beaches of Santa Barbara, Bear in the Dragon's Shadow is a heart-pounding blend of tactical realism and psychological depth. Don Patterson delivers a high-stakes narrative where each page tightens the noose and no assumption is safe.

For readers of military thrillers who crave sharp detail, layered characters, and a story that feels all too real, this one's unmissable.
