The Chinese Shadow Game

In a North Korean Gulag, MI6 agent Roger Jones was suffering unimaginable torture, because of something he discovered during a routine mission concerning the illegal sale of restricted military satellite technology to the Chinese. Before his sudden, and in the age of détente and globalism, inexplicable disappearance in Shanghai, he left MI6 a message; he had found out something important and would report back the next day. It concerned a joint Chinese North Korean operation called Jieguan, involving the use of a satellite missile defence system.

This was not the first disappearance of intelligence personnel from the West recently for no apparent reason. The question the head of MI6, Steven Bartholomew, asked himself was: “why, after all the Cold War had long since ended”.

MI6, the CIA and the German BND set up a joint team to investigate Roger Jones disappearance and some illegal technology transfers deals in China, involving military satellite components. They discovered an ancient and powerful Chinese clan with a worldwide network of Triads and deep roots in the Chinese and North Korea industrial military establishments was about to launch a devastating, hazardous and far reaching operation involving North Korean nuclear missiles. Their aim is to gain political and financial control of the main Asian centres at the expense of the US and Europe. Only MI6 special agent Mike Sanders can stop them if he is able to escape captivity in North Korea, where he is being held by General Kim Young, a leading member of the clan.
