Hidden Dragons,
Sleeping Dogs
The ninth Sleeping Dogs thriller is finished and in editing, with release set for November 2026. Subscribe to the newsletter for the confirmed on-sale date.
Nature made the Sleeping Dogs the slow way — by evolution. Beijing has decided to skip the wait. Using CRISPR gene-editing technology, the Chinese Communist Party has built super-soldiers of its own and quietly moved them inside the United States. The engineered against the born. The lab-made against nature-made.
The Dogs were called Homo maximus by the scientists who found them — beta models of the species that follows ours: stronger, faster, smarter. In Hidden Dragons, the threat is deliberately engineered: CRISPR-built adversaries against the naturally evolved Dogs.
