The Falkland Islands are a British Overseas Territory that is located some 400 miles off Argentina’s Patagonian coastline. Argentina calls the remote and windswept South Atlantic archipelago 'Las Islas Malvinas,' and has never recognized London’s claim. In 1982, Argentina initiated a campaign to bring Las Islas Malvinas back into the fold, calling it ‘Operación Rosario.’ Despite initial success, the invasion and occupation failed, and the British were able to hold on to their remnant of Empire. Despite this defeat, however, Argentina has never abandoned its claim to the islands… Argentina, nursing a wounded economy, coveting the Falkland’s rich oil deposits, and influenced by a former Nazi, invades once again! Arrogant, pedantic, and cool as a cucumber, Captain Fryatt must get HMS Dragon--an advanced British guided-missile destroyer--to the waters off the remote islands. However, in her path stands ARA San Luis II, an ultra-quiet Argentine diesel-electric submarine commanded by Capitán de Navío Jaime Matias. A battle of tactics, technology, and wits unfolds as both crews fight for the future and glory of their nation, and, their very lives... “Dragon Fire” is an exciting action-filled naval thriller. The novella represents the second of the author’s “Battle for the Falklands” series, and takes place during the first part: “Crown Jewel.” However, it can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone read.**
