The Hermit Kingdom-North Korea.
Mysterious. Unpredictable. Volatile.
Treason masquerades as patriotism, igniting an epic crisis.
Matt Ace Black, a US embassy military attaché known for his sharp wit and unconventional methods, disdains politics. Yet he's accompanying Ambassador Shirley Holcam and Senator Jonathan Curry to diplomatic negotiations with Kim Jong Un in the heart of Pyongyang, North Korea.
With Kim's economy in shambles, the regime's erratic leader promises anything to garner relief from the crippling international sanctions. But the dictator's most loyal confidants, code-named Crimson Sun, have a very different agenda that could upend the decades-long totalitarian dynasty and correct their country's inevitable death spiral.
When Crimson Sun's plan is revealed to Ace by a most improbable source, he encounters a labyrinth of lies and deceit to convince him otherwise. But the secret is more complex than Ace realizes-the tentacles of treachery extend well beyond North Korea to other state and non-state actors intent on leveraging the chaos about to unfold on the Korean Peninsula.
The conspirators are determined to silence Ace before he can divulge their plan. Isolated from his counterparts, the walls of secrecy close in around the beleaguered fighter pilot. His diplomatic status will not be enough to keep him alive as both time and the brutal regime become Ace's enemies, blocking his path to stop the carnage. It's the ultimate test of survival in this Far East blockbuster adventure.
