“The Lost Code of Ch'angdo” is about the “lost code” of Morse code and a story that examines the juxtaposition of beauty within the Korean culture, the geography and the wildlife of the DMZ and what evil and corrupt leadership can destroy.
The fascinating history of Morse code becomes the hero and only means of escape and honours the extraordinary bravery of those who sent and received Morse code messages in times of war and conflict to allow freedom in a world bent on creating continuous war and conflict. It is also a story about resiliency and hope and the belief that all things are possible in the essence of international humanitarianism with an underlying theme of sociopolitical leadership within a communist state.
The novel weaves the many characters where deception becomes a means of survival and an international team take on a mission that is dangerous and seemingly impossible in a series of events including a missile strike, tsunami, retaliatory action, and a final rescue involving four countries who must perform a search and rescue in the cloak of darkness under mandatory radio silence.
