Why choose Sublime Book Review?

Finding the right reviews for the right budget can be hard for an Indie or self-published author. And in many cases, you unknowingly pay for a review that is 100% guaranteed positive. While it’s nice for a reviewer to tell you your book is “the greatest book ever written,” this doesn’t necessarily help you, the author, and it certainly doesn’t help the industry leaders (librarians, booksellers, media professionals) make calculated decisions about purchasing your book or requesting your title for their library.

In 1960s Korea, GI Eddie Profar, with the help of his eccentric Russian-Korean friend Yevgeny Lee, becomes entangled in a political two-step between ambitious generals and the North Korean military that involves a tunnel and an immense tiger who establishes a strange connection with Eddie. When Eddie falls in love with Jia, a beautiful Korean courtesan, and wants to save her from her life and her sleazy pimp, Lee proposes a plan that will benefit everyone, but not without risks.

This novel takes the reader deep into the Korean war and its tenuous afterlife, immersing us into the setting and details of life as an American soldier in this beautiful country, riddled with the scars of conflict. Honest and idealistic Eddie Profar grapples with the corruption and reality of military politics, while his weed-loving friend recounts stories from his many past lives. With exceptional character development, it was easy to become invested in the lives of Eddie, Lee, and Jia. The plot vacillated between heartbreak, humor, gruesomeness, and action, weaving the symbolism of the tiger throughout. The pace increased after the first third of the novel, taking us through Jia’s earlier life and setting the stage for Eddie’s plan. This novel is more than just a history lesson – it’s a rollercoaster of emotions swerving and twisting between humor, loyalty, fear, love, and heartbreak.

Sublime Line: “Get ready to face the beast in this breathtaking novel of action, corruption, and love.”
