Publisher Description
It is the turn of the 20th century - an era of tumultuous change. What is it that draws Tung Chi, a former Shaolin priest in the service of the Chinese emperor, to the Australian colony of Queensland?
This mystery ensnares local businessman John Wong, who fears for his daughter, living across the world in Peking at a time when a revolutionary force known as the Boxers is on the rise. Together Tung and John, with his son, Andrew, embark on a dangerous journey that will lead them into a conflict in which everything is at stake, but allegiances uncertain. The sleeping dragon of China is awakening...
From the tropics of Queensland to the heart of the Chinese empire, The Stone Dragon is a gripping tale of rebellion, survival and the powerful influence of loyalty and love.
Customer Reviews
Superb as always
Peter Watt is a wonderful writer with a unique outlook with his novels, mostly fictional work, but always the story is set in an often little known but important moment in history.
The Stone Dragon is set during the Boxer Rebellion in China and is a wonderful, gripping page turner.
Another superb book from a truly great Australian author.
