Ripped from tomorrow's headlines, The Gift of the Dragon is a prophetic page-turning debut written by an artificial intelligence expert in the tradition of Michael Crichton, Stieg Larsson, and Jason Bourne.

Action-packed and unsettling, The Gift of the Dragon bristles with world-shattering ideas yet remains at its heart an intensely human thriller.

A murder, a secret gift, and a chase from coast to coast kick off this lightning paced story about a girl named Alice Walker who has lost her memories in a deadly duel. Now she must solve a terrible crime that cost her family everything, a crime perpetrated by a brutal cartel using artificial intelligence to hack into every aspect of our digital lives.

Will this deeply wounded girl be able to stop the diabolic plans of Omicrion Corporation, save herself and her friends, and regain her soul in the process? Get your copy of The Gift of the Dragon to find out what lies in store not just for Alice, but for us all!

"What I like about this book is that there are no alien machines, no ancient religious mysteries, no mysterious artifacts from a time before history. Instead, this is a great story about a real threat we are facing right now."

5,0 su 5 stelle Exciting & fascinating read
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 15 luglio 2013

This was a truly gripping suspense novel! I'm a fan of different POVs in a book beause it allows the reader to really get to know the characters, and Gift of the Dragon pulls this off very well. Bit by bit, you get to know the secrets some of the characters are hiding, the medical discovery that Renae's family has sworn to protect, what Alice's dragon necklace is exactly, and how it all ties together. I'm not usually a fan of action novels, but this book really drew me in because there is so much attention to detail (which makes it seem very realistic) and because of the interesting dynamics between the main characters. They came alive for me. While reading Gift of the Dragon, I could vividly imagine this being turned into a movie one day - it sure reads like one because I tore through the book at light speed.
The only thing I don't like that much is the cover for this book... the woman looks like an early Pixar animation & it sort of screams 'video game'. This cool novel needs a cooler cover! :)

What a truly disjointed book. Starts of reasonably well then continues to jump to each character and how they see that bit of the plot. If Mr Murray took the time to consult somebody with more experience before going to print it would probably have been a heck of a lot more coherent. The basic plot line is reasonable and could make for a very good read - especially if the time was taken to remove the current American pedantic need to explain and name every weapon used right down to the individual firing pin and which restaurants to name, where they are and what can be found on the menu.

Best thing - save your money.

Michael Murray has written the suspenseful, action-filled story of a woman who has lost her memory from a gunshot wound to the head. The Gift of the Dragon starts off with a bang, literally and figuratively.

A man and his two teenage children, a boy and a girl, kill a man for trying to leave the `organization'. The thirteen year-old girl delivers the fatal shot from a bullet that is made from a frozen drug that melts and then mimics a heart attach in the victim.

Chapter two begins with two young women meeting at night on the bank of the Columbia river. Sara has a dragon necklace that she must give to her friend Alice, a necklace that can never come into the hands of their enemies.

Too late Sara realizes that she's been followed so she gives the necklace to Alice, and then leads the killer away and ends up being shot in the head. The killer then shots Alice in the head knocking her into the Columbia River.

Alice manages to get away and out of the river, but has no memory of who she is, who her enemies are, and why a cheap necklace shaped like a dragon could possibly be worth dying for.

Filled with action that never lets up and a conclusion that I never saw coming. Very complex and interesting book, and Murray is a wonderful suspense writer.

This is book one of a trilogy, and the only flaw from my point of view was that the novel is so complex, with characters that obviously have been explored in other books, that I was a little confused as to who was who, and what the dynamics were between the different characters.

For instance; the characters in the first chapter of the book were very compelling, yet I never saw the two teenagers again. It made me feel like the first chapter was unnecessary, and confusing to the reader.

I didn't feel as though this was a stand-alone novel, but that the reader needed to know more than what the novel explained in order to fully enjoy the story line. This is why the book only garnered 4 stars instead of 5 for the excellent writing and suspense that kept me interested throughout the whole story.

Good story that could be great with some good editing. Way too many typos and lots of sentences with incorrect words. Please take the time to have the book edited by a reader and not by software.

5,0 su 5 stelle It's one of those edge-of-your-seat reads!

"The Gift of the Dragon" is a fast-paced psychological thriller that will have you hooked from page one. If action and adventure is your kink, this book is for you.

This story starts out with a bang then immediately flashes to the character, Sara, who is meeting with Alice hoping to find some comfort in the face of a difficult situation. Then both ladies are shot--Sara dies and Alice wakes up in a river with only one thing to remember the encounter by--a dragon necklace. Obviously the dragon necklace is more than it seems and Alice assumes as much, so she decides to figure out why Sara was killed through a series of confusing, thrilling, and thought-provoking questions.

There are a plethora of characters in this book, and many points of view, which will keep you on the edge of your seat. Chances are, this book will be one of the most unique that you've ever read and it's borderline brilliant--which you'll understand at the end.

"The Gift of the Dragon" is highly recommended! Five out of five stars!
