Produktbeschreibung
In a conquered New Zealand, one man's search for truth ignites a thrilling and disquieting adventure. It is 1987, forty-five years after Japan conquered New Zealand. Twenty-year-old Chris Ipswitch, a Business English teacher at the Wellington Language Academy, navigates the brutal realities of the occupation. Though English can be spoken by natives in the home, the conflict between the Imperial Japanese Army and the Free New Zealand movement simmers beneath the surface. When Chris investigates a terrible crime, he and his famous older brother--the Night Train, a retired Pan-Asian sumo champion--are drawn into the heart of the struggle for freedom. Guided by the mysterious Hitomi Kurosawa and the ghost of Kiwi rock 'n' roll legend Johnny Lennon, Chris uncovers a web of political intrigue, love, and betrayal that will forever change his understanding of his country and himself. New Hokkaido is a fascinating counter-factual history and an adventure that thrills and disquiets at every turn. For readers interested in alternate history, political thrillers, and stories exploring cultural identity and conflict.
