Addictive, profoundly weird
*Spectator*
Extraordinary, gripping
*Financial Times*
Stranger than fiction
*Independent*
An absolutely brilliant page-turner
*Daily Mail*
Captivatingly tells perhaps the most extraordinary tale from the
world's most bizarre country. That a North Korean dictator should
kidnap two South Korean movie stars and force them to make films he
hoped would rival Hollywood seems the stuff of fantasy . . .
Flabbergasting
*Paul French, author of international bestseller 'Midnight in
Peking'*
A true story of desperate movie stars, daring escapes, and the
paranoid leader who brought it all together. Equal parts history,
thriller, and farce . . . will keep you engrossed until the very
end
*Matt Baglio, co-author of 'New York Times' bestseller Argo*
