Description: "Seven Breaths of the Dragon: The Secret History of the Gurkha-Dragon War" is a 2018 genre-bending novel by American author Robert St Michael. The book is his first novel, and the first of a series. The title "Seven Breaths of the Dragon" derives from a line in the New Age opus "The Secret Doctrine" by 19th century mystic philosopher Madame H.P. Blavatsky (1831-1891) who is a prominent character in the book. The story is a tale of love, faith, loyalty, conspiracy, incompetence, war, betrayal, retribution, redemption, science, magic, Nepali Gurkhas, dragons, ghosts, flying saucers, and shape-shifting reptilians. The story is fact-based historical fiction with elements of science fiction, the supernatural, and New Age mysticism, and takes place in our universe, which is stranger than we *can* imagine, where we each act out our roles as pawns in a great game. The events in the book span 90 years from 1857 to 1947, settings include London, England, Manipur and Assam in India, Nepal, and the Callao Plateau of Peru, and incorporate actual events such as the Great Rebellion of 1857 and the Manipur Disaster of 1891, and feature less-well-known historical figures such as H.P. Blavatsky, William T. Stead, Cecil J. Rhodes, Mary (Winchester) Innes-Howie, Ethel St. Clair Grimwood, Prince Tikendrajit Singh, Sir Henry Tizard, and Sir Stewart Menzies.
