 | The Crouching Dragon by Len Lamensdorf
The sea crashes on the same beaches where American & Allied troops landed in 1944, near a supposedly abandoned castle. Are weapons still buried inside? At night the Dragon roars - Flames shoot from its throat & eyes. Sky & earth tremble. Townspeople shudder but remain silent. THE CROUCHING DRAGON is a rollicking tale that blends fact & fantasy, ancient history & modern romance & rivalry. 14-year-old William, his friends Louise & Andre & a group of French teens create a half-fantasy world. Suddenly, all the kids are inside the castle - Their parents, the cops, the principal & the mayor are outside. The kids have medieval armor, shields, lances & spears. And they're defiant. Confronting their families, local authorities & a criminal cartel, they learn the source of the strange sights & sounds that give the castle its frightening reputation. President Charles de Gaulle plays a key cameo. Author Len Lamensdorf, a multi-published writer of novels, a feature film & full length plays, paints vivid word pictures of the Normandy countryside & digs deeply into the hearts & minds of the young people & their parents, as the mysteries of THE CROUCHING DRAGON are shockingly revealed.
