ABOUT RIGHTEOUS FISTS
Front cover Righteous Fists- An 8 foot statue of a Chinese warrior, a member of the Fists of Righteous Harmony, the Boxers.
The Beijing Olympics in 2008 will highlight China's ascension in the athletic world, symbolizing her other, numerous achievements. Military might and diplomacy, as well as a growing economic might, challenges China to become a world leader. There are hard paths to this pinnacle, and there are easier ones.
Yang Rong, head of the Fists of Righteous Harmony, chooses the easy path. He develops a bioterrorism weapon, both deadly and controllable with the drug cure. He threatens to rid the world of yang guizi, foreigners, and make China the governing power of the world.
The theme is Dr. No meets 9/11. How realistic is this? The USA has been attacked by airplanes, suicide bombers, anthrax and other terrorist tools. The borders are porous, as the immigration debate illustrates.
But when Frank Thro's newborn child dies of the Nipah Virus, the world changes. Will he save his wife, after failing to protect his newborn? Or will the country end in a die-off from a deliberate disease, genetically altered to kill, reproduce and kill again?
A father's love, a spouse's passion- both are tested to the very limits of life. There is nothing Frank Thro won't do to protect his family. Is this madness, or the essence of society?
Follow Thro around the world, fighting to save his wife's life, and yours. What you don't see certainly can kill you.
Then join Frank Thro in 2008 for the Beijing Games in the third of the China Trilogy, Greatest Game.
