I came across Home Run by the BBC's Humphrey Hawksley on free offer on Kindle today. Looks like a gripping action thriller - good for Tom Clancy fans.
The missile roared into the midday sky.
Location: 40.8 degrees North, 129.7 degrees East.
Launch station: Nodong, Musudan-ri, Hwadae County, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Launch time: 21.07.
Rocket type: Three stage Taepodong, two solid fuel, third stage liquid fuel.
The world is on the brink of war.
Veteran spy chief, Bill Cage, secures an offer from an agent deep inside the North Korean regime. He can end the dictatorship and destroy its nuclear weapons.
But there's one condition.
The agent’s nine-year-old son must be taken safely to the United States.
Kat Polinksi is tasked with the mission, just as she’s trying to settle down to a steady relationship.
She flies out to a billionaire’s party in a glittering Shanghai penthouse.
But what does her boss know about the mission that he hasn't told her...
‘Home Run’ is a high-octane, edge-of-the-seat thriller from the BBC’s Asia expert Humphrey Hawksley.
It marks the return of the young, vulnerable, no compromise heroine of highly-acclaimed 'Security Breach'.
‘Security Breach’ has been widely praised.
'A complex, intelligent, skillfully turned adventure story that will keep the reader spellbound, and propel Mr. Hawksley directly into the front-rank of his craft' - Simon Winchester.
'A solid, believable political thriller.' - Kansas City Star.
'Full of surprises... its political implications are worth pondering... Hawksley is a skilled writer.' - Washington Post Book World
‘A whirlwind thriller.' - Publishers Weekly
