Operation blue dragon
Stephen Dando-Collins
- Reading
- If this is a new series entry for the reader, briefly explain who Caesar, Ben and Charlie are before beginning. Pause at mission changes to help keep track of the team and its changing tasks.
- Themes
- A chain of escalating missions: The action moves from Caesar and Ben discovering a bomb in Sydney to a team operation to rescue a captured official in Afghanistan. The described plot is organised around successive operational challenges, with Caesar's detection skills and a mini-submarine among the means of tackling them.
- Worth knowing
- Bomb threats, explosives, a helicopter crash, capture and a planned armed rescue are part of the danger. Charlie's prosthetic legs and return to service also feature; consider how a reader responds to injury and military peril.
