Through Eleanor, Ogilvie meets Gina and the fantastic journey begins. She takes him deep into a world of intrigue and espionage, as seen through the eyes of a woman who knows she is only being used for her memory-faces stored in her brain.

Ill-trained and poorly equipped, she is flung headlong into a vicious arena where only the most cunning and experienced can ever hope to survive. Her ordeal begins in Hong Kong where she meets Travis the spymaster. She's never sure of the tight-lipped Travis, yet her life soon depends on his every word. Dragon's Island engulfs her and the terror begins once more. Dragon's Island is a standalone sequel to God's Island.
