Hollow Dominion

By S.M. Payne

Hollow DominionInspired by actual events: Hollow Dominion explores some of the philosophical, political and psychological effects of the Korean War. By summer of 1953-just before the end of the war seven POWs await the inevitable in the Death House in Prison Camp 5, located on the shores of the Yalu River near the Manchurian Border. Their stories unravel in threads and pieces as horror, starvation and dementia overcast shadows on their reality. The men have survived this three-year ordeal that has taken them on death marches, into work camps, coalmines, the anthill-like network of underground tunnels, the Sunchon tunnel massacre, the horror of the Chosin Reservoir conflict. They have been beaten, interrogated, and tortured in some of the most inhumane ways known to man-all at the hands of the North Korean and Chinese prison guards. One prisoner, a CIA operative agent, shares classified information and intelligence with Daniel. The most important: his knowledge that nuclear weapon plans have fallen into enemy hands. Daniel rallies the others to carry out an escape plan so they can take their information to the allied forces They are reduced to the most basic instinct-the will to survive.
