SynopsisThe newest novel in the long out-of-print Evan Tanner series finds the former thief and secret agent returning to the world after being on ice for 25 years. Tanner is about to embark on a new covert assignment that will take him to the exotic Far East, where mystery and menace are a way of life. A Mystery Guild selection., Cold War superspy Evan Tanner lost the ability to sleep on a battlefield in Korea. So where the heck has he been since the '70s? Frozen. Cryogenically. A Tanner-sicle. Which he never thought would happen when he walked into a basement in Union City, New Jersey, more than a quarter century ago. Now he's unthawed and ready to rumble, and his somewhat addled, former super-secret boss, "the Chief," is glad his favorite operative's active again. Tanner awoke to a different world, though some bad things have remained the same . . . or gotten worse. Even before he can fully acclimate himself to this perplexing future, Tanner's off to Burma (which isn't really Burma anymore) to pose as a monk, destabilize the government, dodge a lethal double-cross, and rescue a beautiful prisoner. The world's still full of conspiracy, corruption, greed, political chicanery--and beautiful women. So Tanner's back with a vengeance, with a lot of lost time to make up for.
