Join the us & Buxton Books as we celebrate the launch of Ted Bell’s DRAGONFIRE, featuring Lord Alexander Hawke, the sixth-richest man in England, gentleman spy, and one of the thriller genre’s most well-liked heroes. Previous books in the series have been lauded by other giants in the field such as Clive Cussler, Nelson Demille, and James Patterson, and DRAGONFIRE is no exception. Last seen in 2018’s Overkill, Hawke—whose savvy and suave nature has drawn comparisons to James Bond—is looking for the Queen’s missing grandson, whose disappearance may be the culmination of a plot almost a century in the making and returns Bell to the gripping, sleek storytelling that his readers have come to anticipate. While this digital event is free and open to the public, an RSVP is required. All respondents will receive a link and password to the ZOOM lecture on the day of the event.
