The history of the last two thousand years has been written in blood, and the weapons wielded by its warriors have only grown more deadly. But the deadliest weapon isn't a sword or a bomb. It's what the people believe. Arthur Biers sits across from the United States Ambassador to China as he attempts to convince the man he never intended to desecrate the tomb of its first emperor. It all started with an attempted break-in at the Terracotta Warrior Museum. During a collaborative excavation between scholars and technology gurus from all over the world, a rogue agent working for an unknown organization attempted to enter the unopened tomb of Qin Shihuang. Inside the tomb lay the eternally resting emperor surrounded by an unfathomable legend. Now, as the investigation into who's responsible for the break-in points to Arthur, tensions are on the rise between the West and the East. A Chinese national is under investigation for communicating with the Western world about the tomb. A Texas entrepreneur and inventor is being watched as he attempts to use drones and LiDAR to recreate the inside of the site without damaging its contents. A young student of history braces himself as he attempts to validate the legend of the tomb and discovers a relic that might rewrite the history of China. And a museum worker who grew up during the cultural revolution witnesses the events and is reminded that history is never set in stone. The Tomb of the Primal Dragon is an historical action thriller written for readers curious about U.S.-China relations. Fans of history and espionage will get immersed in the bits of history throughout the novel, the locations of China based on real locations, and the depiction of the role the Internet plays in modern warfare.
