Tom Clancy, Marc Cameron
Shadow of the Dragon
About the Author
Thirty-five years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then was catapulted on to the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it ‘the perfect yarn’. From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.
A retired Chief Deputy US Marshal, Marc Cameron spent nearly thirty years in law enforcement. His assignments have taken him from Alaska to Manhattan, Canada to Mexico and dozens of points in between. He holds a second-degree black belt in ju-jitsu and is a certified scuba diver and man-tracker.
Cameron is an avid adventure motorcyclist and his books heavily feature bikes and bikers — from OSI Agent Jericho Quinn’s beloved BMW GS to Harley Davidsons, Royal Enfields, Ducatis and… most everything on two wheels.
Cameron lives in Alaska with his wife, blue heeler dog and BMW GS motorcycle.

Epigraph
Men who are accustomed to eat at tiny tables in howling gales have curiously neat and finished table-manners.
When two tigers fight, one is injured beyond repair… and the other one is dead.
