China Blonde

Another Tomb Raider meets Slayer episode in the Red Raider series. This time the blonde one. This takes place in the flooding Yangtzee River Valley in China after the completion of the Three Gorges Dam (but before the valley completely floods some time in 2008).

Several scenes set during Buffy's trip to Tokyo (mentioned at the end of Girl in a Bar.)

Basically, an experiment in action writing... based on suggestions from readers of my other Lara/slayer action fic "Working Vacation" - approximately 1000-1500 words each.

Notes:

Part III grew too large and was split into III and IV.
I've provided a link to the IRN's Three Gorges Campaign web site strictly as an FYI. It's a bit too enviro-radical for my tastes. The Chinese have the right to decide what they do with their own rivers and the cultural heritage they'll loose when the reservoir completely fills without the interference of others. No matter what the rest of us may think.
There is also a documentary about this and the efforts of the Chinese to save what they can : Lost Treasures of the Yangtze Valley
