Airborne Laser (X) ─ Mission: Korea is the story of great historical forces put into motion by the selfless nationalistic love of a man for his people, and a USAF officer who is realistic about how great forces can go wrong. From the no-nonsense offices of the devoted men and women high over the River Entrance of the E-Ring in the Pentagon, to the somber corridors of North Korea's Ministry of the Peoples Armed Forces, to the intense men and women of the sophisticated compounds of the Air Force Research Laboratory-this is a story stretching across time and the world. It reaches from the spotless, wide, yet empty boulevards of Pyongyang, to the modern bustling colorful streets of Seoul and from the rugged desert laboratories of New Mexico, to the missile silos and nuclear reactors of North Korea. It delves into the past; reaching to the edges of human memory of the atrocities of war, while also moving into the future where human imagination tries to envision a path forward without armed conflict. Airborne Laser (X) ─ Mission: Korea takes the reader inside the minds and hearts of the players in a globe-spanning tale of power, fratricide, hatred, ancient wrongs, technology, revenge-and ultimately redemption and unification.
