The First Boxer

Introducing the sequel to The Schumann Frequency, Christopher Ride’s hugely successful debut thriller.

Randall Chen, Overseer of the Mission of Ezra, has been sent back to 19th Century China to protect a priceless treasure hidden in the Forbidden City. A treasure beyond compare on which hangs the fate of the world, a treasure for which men will destroy nations.

Stuck between the armies of the British Empire, the Chinese Emperor and the Mongol Lord, Randall must ensure that history stays on course and the future is safeguarded. But no one can predict what Randall Chen will do when faced with the Empress Ci Xi, an irresistible woman with an insatiable lust for power.

Has he betrayed the mission or been betrayed by The Enterprise Corporation who sent him into the past?

And will Wilson Dowling get there in time to save the future? His fast-growing fan base will love this next thriller from Christopher Ride.
