An intense, thrilling adventure that catapults the reader into the dangerous regime of North Korea with non-stop action, unpredictable sequencing, adventure, and a complexity of characters. Morse Code becomes the only plausible means of communication in a world shut off from modernization. The physical qualities of radio propagation offers the only hope of rescue - with a high degree of improbability-for those imprisoned in a desolated "fortress" within the remote backdrop of the Kumgang Mountains.

Entwining history, politics, geography, socio-economics, environment, and psychiatry, an international team enter the DPRK to meet with its autocratic, sociopathic leader bent on creating a military state and terrorism fueling the eruption of a new cold war.

As each new adventure unfolds, the final battle on air and sea culminates into an adrenaline surge climax as a rescue is attempted against enemy forces under mandatory radio silence, a cloak of darkness and only moments of opportunity to complete the mission.
