ABOUT THE BOOK

Evan Tanner, a globetrotting adventurer to put Indiana Jones in the shade, not only had his sleep centre destroyed in the Korean War but now he has been on extended vacation...in the deep freeze for over 25years!

Thawed but not shaken, Tanner has a lot of catching up to do. No sooner than he's reacquainted himself with Minna, his "adopted daughter" and now a beautiful and desirable women and mastered a crash course in Internet learning than he is recruited for another covert assignment - to destablise the government of Burma (or should that be Myanmar?) and he finds himself in Rangoon (or is that Yangon?) Mix in exotic surroundings, an exiled Russian beauty, foreign intrigue, cross and double cross, a mysterious dead man and you have an edgy and entertaining puzzle that only Lawrence Block could create.
