Waking The Dragon

Hard Whispers #2

by Pamela Martin

With the Oval Office in the balance and winning the Presidency the big prize, Pamela Graham is thrown into an avalanche of drama accompanied by Alex and the charismatic Benjamin Graham, Pamela uncovers the unthinkable—evidence of an assassination plot—a bold move that threatens the election of the United States Presidency.

But before Pamela and Alex can reach the Presidential candidate and his team, Benjamin and Alex are attacked by a deadly task force…a private team of assassins controlled by a mysterious power-broker who will stop at nothing to control the Presidential election and its outcome.
Fleeing for their lives in an environment as corrupt as it is lethal, they possess only one hope - to save the Presidential candidate before its too late and to find out who is behind this masterful ploy. The truth, they will learn, is the most shocking deception of all…

In her most thrilling novel to date, author Pamela Martin transports readers from the ultra-secret Bohemian Grove to the streets of Washington D.C., and back again to the hallways of power inside and outside the White House.

Heralded for masterfully intermingling world politics and economics in her acclaimed thriller Hard Whispers, Martin has crafted another novel in which nothing is as it seems—and behind every corner is a stunning surprise. Waking the Dragon is heart-pounding fiction at its finest.

Good story line tied in with current world events. Hard to put down once you start reading. I was happy to see that the chapters in the book were short. One thing I hate chapters that go on and on forever. Looking forward to the next book in this series to see what lies ahead for Pamela and Alex.

[Tabitha Ormiston-Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

This marvellous book, following on from Hard Whispers but standing alone as a novel must, is exciting from start to finish. An adventure story on the grand scale, in the tradition of John Buchan, it sweeps the reader off his feet on the first page and doesn't slow down until it deposits him, slightly out of breath, at the wonderfully satisfying conclusion.

I didn't love it quite so well as I did Hard Whispers, mainly because it doesn't have as much of the resourceful Pamela Graham, but I loved it quite well enough to give it five stars, and to look forward very enthusiastically to future offerings from this brilliant new author.

Fast-paced thriller with a very interesting take on global politics and finance. Anyone with an interest in current events is sure to enjoy this read.

You want to cheer for the good guys!

This follow -up book to Hard Whispers by Pamela Martin was just as action packed and entertaining as the original. Once again our heroine finds herself in the midst of intrigue and danger, endeavoring to foil a plot against a presidential candidate and stop a threat of world control by China. As a light read, I enjoyed the book thoroughly, however I was somewhat disappointed by the abrupt ending. Realizing there will most likely be (if there isn't already) a (Hard Whispers #3), I would have liked a better finish to this one.

It is a battle between East and West, good versus evil a.k.a. power.

Pamela Graham once again fights her paranoia after thwarting a government plot to kill millions of its citizens several years ago. As a new president candidate emerges and her adopted Russian son has ties with the Chinese president the lines gets murky.

She must decide what is right and wrong. A quick packed thriller that moves along.

Interesting political thriller which is eerily reflective of current events thou published 4 years ago.

I received my copy of Walking the Dragon through a Goodreads giveaway.
