Adrian Hong's gripping tale of high-stakes activism takes readers on a heart-pounding journey into the world of North Korean regime subversion.

He began by helping asylum-seeking North Koreans escape across the border in China, and soon found himself at the helm of an organization dedicated to bringing down the regime.

With a focus on direct action and a willingness to take bold risks, Hong's group targeted key government officials and launched a series of daring raids, including an armed attack on the North Korean embassy in Madrid.

But as the stakes grew higher, Hong found himself on the run from Chinese and North Korean authorities, becoming one of the world's most unlikely fugitives. Hope's account is both deeply reported and novelistic, making for a thrilling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
