I think this may be the first fiction my friend Martin Limón has written that is not set in Korea. For
Il Yong, the title character, is the son of an American serviceman and a Korean mother, who did various classified jobs for Defense contractor and is now the head of security for a medical missionary group. They are supposed to be helping the Chinese peasants but they don't turn away starving North Korean refugees who slip over from the Hermit Kingdom.
But that's not the current problem. A group of Manchurian bandits have kidnapped an American nurse. Il Yong has both professional and personal reasons to want to get her back, no matter the danger.
Fascinating story.
