Sleeping Dragon

As the author gazed into North Korea he wondered if there could be any Americans left behind after all these years. From this grew Sleeping Dragon. M. Pete Peterson takes a step back to the early ''90s. It is now just a bit more than forty years since the Korean War. Intelligence experts stumble upon a strange radio message. Someone wants to ''come home.'' Is it a prank? Then again some think it is a communist agent trying to defect. Then it could be something else. Could it be the strangest of all possibilities? Maybe it is the voice of an American pilot declared dead after his plane was shot down. The problem: his plane was last seen in burnt rubble? There was no parachute before the crash. The military leadership must break the rules to identify the ''caller'' each night; but the ''caller'' has a greater risk - his life. It was a plan that might lead him into a bloody fight in the truce village of the demilitarized zone. To the ''caller'' success will be either death or freedom.
