Blood of My Fathers - a New Novel Inside North Korea

Blacklick, Ohio, July 22, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The debut (May 2015) novel by author Bernard Bornstein illuminates the political upheaval inside ultra-secretive North Korea as Kim Jong Un solidifies his power base.

Blood of My Fathers takes place in North Korea where a deadly virus escapes.  As the virus ravages the world, Kim Jong-il, the leader of North Korea, becomes sick and his youngest son, Kim Jong Un, grasps control.  A rogue general refuses to accept Kim Jong Un and instead covertly plans the firing of a nuclear missile at South Korea.  If the general succeeds, the virus will be the least of humanity’s problems.

"Bornstein has crafted an intriguing work of fiction and keeps his reader on the edge of his seat. Thankful this is fiction. In today's fragile world, what Bornstein has created could happen."

Robert Shook, New York Times best selling author

Bornstein uses history to forecast the future of the Kim dynasty into a rational conclusion.  This is a thriller that you won’t want to put down.  New York Times best selling author Robert Shook gave the novel five stars: “Bornstein has crafted an intriguing work of fiction and keeps his reader on the edge of his seat. Thankful this is fiction. In today's fragile world, what Bornstein has created could happen.”

Bernard Bornstein’s lifelong fascination with international politics led to extensive research into the “hermit kingdom” of North Korea and its ruling family, which, in turn, inspired Blood of My Fathers.
