    AN ABSOLUTE PAGE TURNER ...

    Once again, Frederick Price has written a galvanizing book. I started reading, and couldn¿t stop. This book is a roller coaster that never slows down. Action, suspense, mystery ... it¿s all there in Dragon¿s Ghost. Price is a consummate story teller and his characters are believable and captivating. I haven¿t enjoyed a book the much in a very long time.

    Imaginative Mystery

    This is a wonderfully imaginative mystery, which rapidly unfolds into a fast-pace action filled story. It's a commendable debut sequel to 'Lair of the Dragon,' and I'm surprised this author did not receive more recognition as a new mystery writer upon publication of his first book. Although 'Dragon's Ghost' does read well without having read the first book, I recommend reading 'Lair of the Dragon' first, which captures the personalities of the characters. And by the time one begins the sequel, he knows the players quite well. A good read that you won't want to put down until the very end.
