This thriller Tango Dragon and the Asteroid, volume III in the Henry Barton-Jones, Ice Dragon Force series, tells an exciting tale of love, passion, revenge, intrigue, and Carlotte's heroism as it chronicles Henry Barton-Jones transformation from a British secret agent into a different form of fighting evil. This time he has the help of a long forgotten force on the edge of re-emerging to once again protect the world. Hardly able to catch his breath after being put out to grass on early retirement, he finds this new job a particular challenge with no one to guide him. Barton-Jones struggles in Reluctant Hero Volume II, to understand exactly what this supernatural capability is that he has had forced upon him. Henry was an over the hill, burnt-out, washed up agent of the British secret service but now he discovers a new lease of life with an Ace card up his sleeve like none other. His new career is equally dangerous but now the rules have changed and he picks up a number of professional special government agents who become his support team to fight the good fight but this time with more than just guns and special effects on their side. Charlotte Masterson is the talented, ravishingly beautiful superstar fashion model traumatized by deeply emotional problems from her teens. Her gift of genes and destiny leads her into the word of fashion. Though successful this wakes up an anger in her for revenge that leads her to being accepted as a British Government experiment for women's equal opportunities training with the SAS commando regiment. Charlotte's strange destiny turns out to be all important in her predestined encounter with Henry. It is she who guides him in his dreams explaining the 6,000 year old Ice Dragon Force heritage that has been completing its development within his DNA programming through his life. Charlotte's past catches up with her the day of her honeymoon when she re-encounters her SAS Sergeant Major trainer and the scourge of her military training. Henry realises his problem was not burnout but his inherited Ice Dragon Force genes going through their final stage of evolution in order for him to become the new Ice Dragon Master. Charlotte becomes far more important to Henry than just his guiding angel. Tango Dragon and the Asteroid follows on from Henry's first encounter with Ricardo Bettencourt, the world's number one most wanted terrorist. Ricardo is a Brazilian diplomat who for decades under this diplomatic disguise had fooled Interpol, and all the world's national police forces and secret agencies. It is Charlotte who intrigues Ricardo to ensnare her for himself, but in doing so he runs up against Henry Barton-Jones even so, it is Charlotte who exacts her mind bending revenge on Ricardo. Ricardo is a nuclear scientist by training, he has a brilliant mind but is also ruthless and cunning to the extreme. Although he depends greatly on his cousin policeman for his intelligence information, his ability to sniff out people in high or important positions with something serious to hide enables him access to classified information that is critical to him achieving the seemingly impossible acts of violance. This cat and mouse game where the advantage unexpectedly switches sides takes Henry, Charlotte and their support team into ever greater depths of intrigue and detective work to get ahead of and turn the tables on the ever evasive Ricardo.
