BLACK DRAGONLAKE
Life and Death of Sergeant Doc Rhoades
About The Book
Black Dragon Lake: Life and Death of Sergeant Doc Rhoades by C.D. Strong is a powerful, atmospheric tale of war, loyalty, and the high cost of survival.
In the shadowy town of Black Dragonlake, Life and Death of Sergeant Doc Rhoades unravel in a world where crime runs deep and trust comes at a deadly price. Amidst this chaos, one man’s story rises above the rest.
Sergeant Doc Rhoades, a hardened career soldier, has walked through the fire—from the jungles of Vietnam to secret missions in Central America. Haunted by the ghosts of war and betrayed by the very system he served, Rhoades finds himself at odds with a nation he once swore to protect. Torn between patriotic duty and disillusionment with corrupt leadership, he sets out on one final mission—one that may offer redemption or destroy him for good.
Set against a backdrop of political decay, moral ambiguity, and the relentless cycle of violence, Black Dragon Lake explores the raw truth of what it means to serve, survive, and seek meaning in the aftermath of battle. With pulse-pounding twists, cinematic grit, and unflinching emotional depth, this gripping historical thriller refuses to let go.

Our Satisfied Readers
"Dragon Lake by Charles D Strong Although a work of fiction, Dragon Lake carries the weight and authenticity of lived experience. Strong’s intimate descriptions of place and his unflinching depictions of war’s horrors—such as the haunting image of "the blood (still) stains his hands"- suggest not only meticulous research but the echo of personal or deeply felt trauma. The storytelling is deceptively simple, yet profoundly moving. As I read, the characters came alive, and the landscapes unfolded so vividly I felt immersed in the world he created. This is more than a war novel; it’s a powerful meditation on the human condition. Strong's writing compelled me to confront the costs of violence and reflect on the enduring question: what has become of our humanity - then and now? I highly recommend Dragon Lake to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the realities of war, or who appreciates fiction that leaves a lasting emotional impact."
