About the Book

     December 1951 - The gravely wounded prisoner known only as SHADOW, was tortured because he wouldn't reveal his name. He Couldn't - he had no memory of who he was or where he was from Nor did he know that he was a much decorated American soldier, or that he had a loving wife - who would remarry after he was declared dead.

     Escape from the POW compound was deemed impossible - many had died trying - but Shadow was obsessed. Three times he escaped, and twice he was captured and tortured; the third time he succeeded, only to find himself lost in the mountains of North Korea - pursued by a relentless enemy determined to kill him.

     Believing that friends were to the south, he began a long and perilous journey to find his own country . . . and a new kind of hell.
