Summary
"Private Ethan Shard is part of the US Army of Occupation in Japan, 1950, knee-deep in the black market, getting rich stealing from the Army and selling to Japanese gangs. All that changes when the North Koreans invade South Korea. Ethan Shard is sent to war, along with his partner-in-crime, Elliot "Skitter" Skinner, in a desperate attempt to halt the enemy advance. During their first skirmish, the two men become prisoners of war. The brutality of his captors, the harsh climate, and the inhumane conditions in the camps challenge Shard's capacity to survive in this tale of captivity, betrayal, and endurance."--Back cover
