About
the Book:
The
year is 1997. North Korea is suffering from a devastating famine that
has shaken the foundation of the ruling class. A series of
high-profile defections to the West has lead the reclusive country's
leadership into the grasp of paranoia.
Nuclear
scientist Han Chol-Soo is on a tenuous diplomatic mission to the
United States. There he is forced to embark upon a high-stakes
pursuit after his wife disappears with their newborn son. Paralyzed
with fear at the repercussions of her decision, Han turns to his
colleague Park Jun-Young for help -- a man that he suspects is an
intelligence operative. He soon regrets his decision as Park cuts a
swath of mayhem in the name of helping Han, and the chase forces Han
to confront the harsh realities of his home country.
Half
Life Reviews
“Half
Life is a terrific novel. Right from the start you'll be drawn into
many dark worlds—politics, espionage, and North Korea—and it will
keep you on the edge of your seat right until the last page. Paul
H.B. Shin’s authenticity and style cannot be missed.” –Dale
Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Starfire (William Morrow)
“A
gripping, taut espionage thriller, Half Life is enriched by the love
story at its core and the refusal to give simple answers. I loved
it.” –Robert Ferrigno, bestselling & award-winning author of
Heart of the Assassin (Scribner)
“Paul
H. B. Shin wraps an engaging tale of espionage and intrigue around a
failed marriage in his new international thriller, Half Life. With
sure-footed prose and vivid characterization, Shin takes readers
inside the paranoid claustrophobia of North Korea’s political
world, where even high-ranking diplomats live in constant fear. With
North Korea's nuclear arms program as a backdrop, the eminently
believable and thoughtful plot will have readers wondering if they're
looking at tomorrow's news. A well-wrought debut.”
–Jim
DeFelice, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of American Sniper
(William Morrow)
