Can you please advise why this doesn’t appear in the “other editions”?
Because it’s not combined with any other edition. It was auto-imported from Amazon and books that are auto-imported aren’t automatically combined - someone needs to ask a librarian to combine the editions in order for the editions to be linked together.
Done that - please note it might take a while to show properly in the database.

It's 2018. A desperate, starving 18-year-old North Korean defector makes it to the US consulate in Hanoi, Vietnam. He knows only one Western name. Jenna Williams. He asks to meet her.
Jenna works under an alias at the US embassy in Russia arranging university exchanges - the cover for her role as a senior intelligence officer assigned to the CIA's Moscow station. She 37 years old, a Korean-African-American.
With Jenna's help, Woo-jin, known as 'Books', receives the asylum and US citizenship granted to all North Korean defectors. He speaks Russian and English well, so at Jenna's suggestion he starts to study at the American School in Moscow so that she can help him acclimatise to the world outside North Korea.
But while watching a television news conference on the eve of a summit in Singapore, Books is shocked to discover he recognises one of the the president's aides, Eric Rahn. He was a fellow cadet of the Mangyongdae Revolutionary School in North Korea.
Jenna requests an urgent face-to-face meeting with the CIA director to warn him that the White House has been infiltrated. But with North Korean killers closing in, Jenna must get out of Russia fast. At the same time in Singapore, as the historic meeting with the North Korean leader is about to begin, Eric Rahn has the President's ear, and urges him to make a secret promise that will have fateful consequences...
