SYNOPSIS:
For Sarah Kimble, a quick excursion to North Korea’s capital of Pyongyang, seemed like a great idea until she took photos of someone the North Korean Security Service didn’t like and arrested her for spying. Sarah is transferred to a gulag on the other side of the country. Meanwhile, a senior member in the US State Department fed up with American tourists being detained by the North Koreans, contacts Secretary of State Hamilton and Carl Benson - Director of the CIA. Peter Kelly, a contract assassin for the Agency is brought in. His mission: to enter North Korea covertly and, if possible, get Sarah Kimble out. Together with his Japanese/American partner, Yuki Cassidy, Kelly travels at night to North Korean coastline by fishing trawler and enters the country. While making their way to the gulag, the pair come upon a truck carrying American Tomahawk missiles. Now the hunt is on, for the person who sold the North Koreans American weaponry.
The Choson Connection by Marty Walpole is an amazing suspense thriller of catch me if you can, and cat and mouse all rolled into a one! This whirlwind thriller will send your jaw dropping. If you like the likes of Jason Bourne, or Enemy of the State you will enjoy The Choson Connection.
Walpole’s delivery is excellent as the story traverses between his calculatingly intense no nonsense characters. Walpole’s characters are written real and unapologetic(Yuki Cassidy need I say more?) Sometimes you got to be bad to be good. Walpole’s writing flows effortlessly as Walpole leads you all over the world on this breathtaking ride. The book plays out like a blockbuster movie in your head. I am not usually a suspense thriller reader, but this book had me hooked. You think you know what's going to happen then Walpole pulls the proverbial rug out from under you many times through out this book making your head swirl. It's a good thing trust me. If you are a suspense thriller lover I eagerly recommend reading The Choson Connection.
