 The Dragon Run is a 2020 historical fiction novel written by Rachel Relat. It is the first book in the Ascalon Circle series.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In the second half of 1938, French pilot Yann Vatel, who runs an airmail service outside of Marsabit in British Kenya, is approached by two officers of the Secret Intelligence Service. The job? To ferry a scientist from Stockholm to London before his discoveries can be tapped by German intelligence. A deadly game of cat and mouse begins between Vatel and his allies, and Frederik, a high-ranking operative working for the powerful Abwehr, the German secret service. With hostile forces on their heels and war brewing, will they manage to fly to safety in time?The series draws heavily from the pulp serials of the 1950s and 1960s, as well as beloved classics such as the Bob Morane series, Indiana Jones and Tales of the Gold Monkey. Intended as a love letter to the golden age of aviation, each book in the series is titled after a plane that features prominently in the story (The first one is the DH.89 “Dragon Rapide”).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Followed by an immediate sequel titled The Kerguelen Cat, published in 2021. A third story is under development, under the title The Commodore's Gold.
