About Bangor A Political-military Thriller

"The submarine's captain looks on in disbelief as the opening in the Hood Canal bridge begins to close before his eyes. Unbeknownst to him, North Korean commandos are in the process of doing the impossible: capturing a Bangor-bound nuclear submarine as it attempts to pass through. In 1968, North Korean operatives successfully commandeered an American Naval ship, the USS Pueblo. It was considered an embarrassing defeat for the Americans and a glorious victory for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Forty years later, Captain Tae Jun-won wants nothing more than to live up to his father's legacy, as the man who orchestrated the capture of the American ship. And when his own ship comes across debris from the recent Fukushima earthquake in the Sea of Japan, he might finally get his chance. With the blessings of his higher ups, Jun-won hatches a daring plan to enter the United States and seize a nuclear submarine en route to the Bangor Naval Station in Washington State. Thus begins the military heist of the century. Jun-won must infiltrate the United States without letting his true identity and motives slip. And with every twist and turn of his plan, he finds himself confronted with what it means to be loyal to his country, family, and everything he's ever been taught to believe, ending in an explosive final confrontation that threatens to change not just the course of Jun-won's life, but world history itself"--Amazon.com
