Sharp’s instincts tell him that all isn’t as it seems with the prisoner, and during the questioning, the prisoner makes a shocking confession which triggers a series of chain reactions.

There is something awful at the heart of British political space that’s infiltrated the M16 as well as the GCHQ. Something so powerful that a few people in power are will to call an attack at the heart of British politics to keep their secrets guarded.

Limits of the World

This book is set in North Korea, formally known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The story centers around Han, a party official tasked with guiding foreign tourists around the Pyongyang and the surrounding areas.
Han is a collector and dedicated reader of banned books. When he encounters Mae, the two create a bond, and they begin attending a secret book club together, which eventually leads them down a dangerous path.

In North Korea, any literature not written by or about the leadership of the country is banned. Any book that doesn’t focus on the rise of the Party or that does not glorify the rise of Kim’s power is banned. This makes it difficult to imagine the other, whether the other is a place, person, or time.

The story takes place at the end of the Kim Jun-Il era, and Han finds himself guiding two western tourists through the Korean Capital. What he doesn’t know is that the two tourists have a secret of their own. They are a successful journalist looking to take their career to the next level by exposing North Korea’s totalitarian regime to its people.

Despite emphasizing of the North Korean regime, The Limits of the World can also be considered a Cold War spy novel. Andrew Raymond does a fantastic job of detailing the North Korean realm where the main character lives. It is obvious that the author did extensive research into the country and the secrets, and most about this secretive government. The author also does a fantastic job in creating two believable western journalists trying to infiltrate and expose the dark side of DPRK.
