James Church's (pseud.) new novel is not a whodunnit, but it is compelling portrait of the intricacies of surviving the labyrinth of government work in the most isolated, yet politicized Marxisit-Leninist-socialist paradise on earth. If you are curious about life in the DPRK with its eternal president (still dead), hereditary "democratic" rule, military first ideology (선군사상 / 先軍思想), land of the great Arirang (아리랑) mass gymnastics cum incredible stadium card section, then this book by a former intelligence officer is the book for you!

As our ephermeral existance flashes by on the HD screen of life, watching the supporting players peripheral to our shabby lives in the background is like viewing passerby's from the cool beneath an eldritch tree.
