The first story, "Ice Dragon Rising" explains how three young men sacrificed their own lives to create the Ice Dragon power to save their world from a terrible war lord. The Ice Dragon power was created from the soul energy of more than one hundred thousand soldiers of a terrible army that had destroyed hundreds of thousands of peaceful people, villages and towns across central Europe and Asia. This energy field took the shape of the famous Great Ice Dragon Diamond." The Ice Dragon was then and is still pure energy; therefore it has to have a human master for it to be able to do what it had been designed for. The first master had been chosen long before the terrorist army perished. Unsuspecting, the chosen master was confronted with his destiny. The Master's link to the Ice Dragon energy field was passed from father to son for 4,000 years before being broken. Henry Barton-Jones-Reluctant Hero; is the story of the new Ice Dragon Master and continuing legend of the second Ice Dragon dynasty. Heath issues forced Henry into early retirement. He considered himself condemned to a life of drinking coffee and reading newspapers in street side cafés watching his life slowly fading away. A winter trip to get some exercise proved to be the turning point and where he eventually discovered the truth of what was waiting for him. Henry Barton-Jones met his destiny on an Alpine ski slope at the beginning of 2012. He quickly realised it was not burnout that stopped his career but something quite different and unbelievable. The people he met and worked with during his career prove more than helpful in protecting the world from a new and serious terrorist threat.
