The Pact

by J. A. Summer

The Pact Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

China's Tiananmen Square, an entrepreneur's son wrestles headquarters as cameramen capture him among an angry throngs' demonstrations. A helicopter rescue takes him to financial investors abroad. Risking honor, he courageously intermixes traditional Buddhist rituals with the modern. His betrothed, injured alongside abused factory slaves, besieged by racketeers' indulgence in village daughters, is transported by Communist drug traffickers. The young couple reunites in California; Buddhist Temple celebrations ensue. Expectations of Shin's business fall under duress as competitors impose hardships in entertainment enterprises. Deployed to investigate in New York, Shin relocates with Asian immigrants. Shin's active duty almost ends in death as landlords suffocate Sara. They reestablish themselves before tragedy strikes.
