Read all 5 books in the series. Each one couldn't wait to see what happens next. I'm not typically a series book reader either. This one had everything.

Good Read

Mr. Falconer, author of SILK ROAD, is my 'go to' author. When I want to be assured of a good read, I go to him. TRIAD was about the opium trade originating in China that ended up on the streets of the United States. It was an interesting read with very few errors. It reads slowly through the first half, after that it reads with a full head of steam. The author's writing mechanics were excellent, but his descriptive powers surpass excellency! He draws the reader into the sounds, people, places, action and every other noun in the book. I admit to being confused about the book's title. TRIAD or CHASING the DRAGON? They are the same book.

Thank you, Mr. Falconer, for a good read.

I received a free advance e-copy of this book from the author and have chosen of my own free will to post a review. This is the second book in the Opium series. This book is dark full of intrigue, murder, drugs, action, suspense, adventure, and thrills. There is a cop who is an informant and an American DEA agent with a horrific secret looking for revenge. It is obvious that Colin has spent a great deal of time researching The Triads. ‘Chasing the Dragon’ is another well written historical thriller with an amazing plot by Colin Falconer. The characters are well developed. This is a keeper and well worth the read. I look forward to reading more from Colin Falconer in the future.

Good read!!

However, story lines often interrupted by awkward sentence structure,i.e., Repeating words and phrases, misspelled words, dangling participles and grammatical errors.
