Great read.-NYT best-selling author P.T. Deutermann, author of <em>Red Swan.</em></p><p> </p><p>Norton's latest thriller offers not just an edge of your seat suspense story, but demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of Asian politics, particularly the China-North Korea-Japan trifecta of history and warfare still affecting today's U.S. security dangers and uncertainties. This is a must read for both fiction fans and China specialists. -Bernard D. Cole, author of <em>China's quest for Great Power: Ships, Oil, and Foreign Policy.</em></p><p> </p><p>"A riveting read; ripped from the headlines immediacy crossed with the real-world knowledge of someone's who's been there and done that. Compelling characters and a story that is all too possible Doug Norton's <em>Code Word</em> series will keep you up at night, even after you've finished reading."</p><p>--Matthew Palmer, author of <em>Enemy of the Good.</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><br>
