The Second Korean War

By Ted Halstead

Book Overview

"This book was like Tom Clancy reincarnated. Ted Halstead really knows how to write a thriller. Can't wait for more "

Kim Jong Eun is dead. The North Korean military is now in charge. Their new military dictator, Marshal Ko, believes that with an all-out invasion they can reach Seoul, just 35 miles away.

Ko thinks a stolen portable Russian nuclear weapon hidden in LA, and guarded by North Korean special forces soldier Chung Hee Moon, will keep the Americans out of the war. But what if Ko is wrong - and what about Russia, China, and Japan?

Two Russians have been sent to retrieve the weapon: FSB Colonel Alexei Vasilyev and senior Vladivostok homicide detective Anatoly Grishkov. Neither has much faith in the regime they serve.

But both agree that the weapon must be found before it's detonated and its fallout signature is traced back to Russia. And starts WWIII.

Another nuclear weapon nears Seoul in a tunnel built by the North Koreans. Prisoner Lee Ho Suk has been working in such tunnels so long that his nickname is "Lost Bet" from the guards wagering on a date of death that somehow has refused to come. Could Lee find a way to beat the odds yet again?

And what if Shin Yon Young, South Korea's sole spy in Pyongyang, learns about the tunnel before the weapon reaches Seoul?

No matter which side wins, the end of the Second Korean War will decide whether Seoul or Pyongyang becomes the new capital of a united Korea.
