The Dragon Spy

The Cold War

To gain an advantage over the Soviets, the CIA uses genetic testing to identify children who are more than human and place them in the Greenhouse, a covert school to turn them into weapons in the war against the Soviets. Lynna Harrison, who is half-human and half-sea dragon, is among the first of these children.

1983

Lynna and her teammates are using their powers to aid in the Agency's black ops, an advantage the Soviets have yet to discover. That's until Lynna goes on a mission in East Berlin and learns someone in the unit is planning to trade their secrets.

The Soviets aren't the only ones hunting for the Greenhouse, though. An unknown party with their own super-powered soldiers has entered the race, and they're determined to capture one of Lynna's closest friends in the unit and turn her into a weapon for their own ends.

Lynna finds a possible ally with answers in the ranks of these super-powered soldiers, but the more Lynna learns, the less she knows who she can trust. Her own government has plans for the Greenhouse that threatens all of them. There's also more than one traitor in her unit, and one of them is among her most trusted friends.

THE DRAGON SPY takes readers on an adventure that blends the “X-Men” with the Cold War thrillers of John le Carré and Tom Clancy.

"Fantasy, espionage, and action make for pure fun on the page as a pack of supernatural teens come into their powers in THE DRAGON SPY." - Alma Katsu, author of Red Widow and The Hunger
