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 that's all changed. Now he's 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 country's 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. Stuart's latest adventure takes him from Peking to the Great Wall and beyond. He's 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 Hubbard's 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. "Hubbard delivers a tidy finale that shows why he was one of the most popular genre writers of his generation." - Publishers Weekly … (mehr)

Another of the old pulp stories brought to entertaining life on full audio cd. Music sound effects, and actors bring the story to life so you can visit far flung locals from your easy chair or behind the steering wheel. ( )

Excellent story as only L. Ron Hubbard can do. Mystery and suspense keep you engaged. Listening makes driving easier. ( )

This audiobook is a wonderfully tight tale with authentic sound effects. Excellent humorous dialog amidst fine suspenseful action.
Really classic and timeless! ( )

I really enjoyed this audio book it reminded me of the old radio show program back in the 1930's and 40's the story is a classic pulp fiction book or movie.

The Red Dragon (audio book) by Galaxy Press was an entertaining audio selection featuring multiple cast members. Each of the characters had a truly unique voice and helped the story come to life. It was a great example of pulp fiction come to life. Special kudos to the music and sound effects which helped bridge the suspense. I do wish the sound effects could have been louder during some of the action sequences. Loved it!
