In 2067, twenty years after China’s failed invasion of Taiwan, a historian embarks on an ambitious project to chronicle life during and after the war: last survivor account of the secret “Taiwan Liberation Army”; a former soldier haunted by the female voice from Psychological Operations; a young nurse who discovers the true identity of her patient; a student from Thailand who becomes the President’s spymaster; a reporter who witnessed a bloody firefight at a hospital. Chu Yuhsun mixes reportage, speculative fiction, military thriller to create a book taken directly from the headlines. It is boldly imagined, impeccably researched, and too close to reality for comfort.
