Shadow of the Dragon

A thrilling tale of cyber warfare, betrayal, and redemption.

Mark van der Merwe, a talented IT manager from South Africa, thought he had left the chaos behind when he settled into his new life in Kodiak, Alaska. But when Northern Crypto, a multinational cryptocurrency company, becomes the target of a relentless cyberattack, Mark’s expertise is called upon once again. Traveling to Tokyo, he finds himself in the heart of a dangerous conflict between cutting-edge technology and ruthless organized crime.

The Dragons, led by the cunning and vengeful Akiko Tetsuya, will stop at nothing to seize control of Northern Crypto. With sophisticated ransomware attacks, hired hackers, and the deadly assassin Liang Junfeng, the Ghost Blade, at her disposal, Akiko is determined to destroy the company and avenge her family’s honor.

Mark is joined by Alyssa Cho, a brilliant cybersecurity auditor, and Inspector Keiko Nakamura, a fearless Tokyo police officer, as they race against time to uncover vulnerabilities, dismantle the Yakuza’s operations, and protect Northern Crypto’s employees. But as Mark delves deeper, he discovers the moral complexities behind Akiko’s motivations, forcing him to question who the real enemy is.

In this high-stakes game of cat and mouse, alliances shift, loyalties are tested, and Mark must rely on his wits, courage, and growing feelings for Alyssa to survive. With its blend of intense action, technological intrigue, and emotional depth, Shadow of the Dragon takes readers on a gripping journey through the neon-lit streets of Tokyo and the shadowy corners of the cyber world.
