"...It takes a lot of skill to write so much into a novel and still keep it enjoyable. While the material in the novel is well-researched, this author does an impeccable job of transforming that material into a spellbinding story... 5 Star Review by Ruffina Oserio for Readers' Favorite

"...a debut novel filled with literary standard depictions and authenticity when it comes to the culture of the Far East. As well as being an education in the 'Wild East' era of the nineties, the story itself gives multiple perspectives on life in China from high and low places, presenting a fully rounded human experience through its interwoven plot lines..." 5 Star Review by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

“…The author writes beautiful subplots into the story and this creates the suspense that makes it an exciting read. Jeffrey Fischmann paints vivid images of South East Asia in the '90s and explores the realities such as the opium trade. This is a romance with strong cultural and social foundations. A gripping tale that will keep any reader awake through the night.”  5 Star review by Romuald Dzemo for Readers' Favorite
