"Sea of Fire" is a spy thriller set in North Korea. The protagonist, Patrick Featherstone, is a former sniper in the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) who is now torn between the recent vow of non-violence he has taken as a Buddhist monk, and the need to use lethal force to gain the release of his fiancee, Yumi Saito, who has been kidnapped and is being held captive in the North Korean gulag system.

heroes that keeps the reader engaged and guessing up to the last minute."
