Dragon Gold: A Sci-Fi Thriller Sea Adventure

After her dangerous adventures earlier in the year, everything is finally going well for Dr. Eva Paz. Her breakthroughs in dolphin communication are changing the world. Her discoveries could save the reef she loves. And now her mother has found love again. 

But then a madman returns to claim what’s his. Eva’s old nemesis, Julian Gulliver, kidnaps Eva’s mother, and he demands an exorbitant ransom. 

It’s money Eva doesn’t have.

What she does have are friends who are willing to do anything to help, including ex-Navy SEAL—and ex-boyfriend—Dr. Thomas Sternberg. But Eva’s greatest asset may be her dolphins: Taffy, Finn, Cleo, and Chico. 

Together, they need to mount a rescue effort. Yet things are even more desperate than they imagine, for Julian isn’t the only menace terrorizing Roatan. 

Join Eva as she works with Thomas and her dolphins to rescue her mother and save the reef from a man who would destroy them all. 

For fans of Michael Crichton, Dragon Gold is book two in Kristie Clark’s Order of the Dolphin Series.

Book club questions included. May be read as a standalone, but Dragon Gold is best enjoyed with the other Order of the Dolphin series books: Killing Dragons and Dragon Clan.

A Reedsy FIVE Star Must read 🏆Book!

Eco-thriller with dolphins, a marine biologist, and her friends who are up against a villain and his mega-yacht

"The book was well-paced and a very fun read. It will appeal to readers who enjoy eco-fiction and/or thrillers. There is even some romance to round out the layers of this book. 

My favorite part about this story, though, was the dolphins. They are the coolest part of the book, especially Cleo and the role she plays. She is able to follow multi-step directions and during her POV chapters, she shows her ability to think through problems. For readers who love reading horse books, they may get a kick out of the Order of the Dolphin books." — Rachel Barnard, Reedsy Reviews
