Kwan's Last Mission (The Dragon Series) by John Daniel

In August 1945, the Japanese verge on surrender. Two atomic bombs have been dropped on the Japanese main islands. But no British troops are within five thousand miles to retake their occupied colony of Hong Kong. A political vacuum threatens. Which predatory power might step in to take over?

Will the distant British fleet arrive in time? Before Chiang Kai-shek's two in-route Nationalist armies? Or Mao's surrounding Communist cadres? Will the Hongkongers, 98% of the populace, push for independence at any moment?

One Chinese agent is on a clandestine mission in the colony, the only man capable of stepping into the coming void and giving Britain a fighting chance. He's called The Dragon. He also hides an ulterior motive ― but she has her own secrets.
