"A group of expatriate women experience life in post-war Vietnam and become involved in the lives of women and children of Vietnam, who are threatened by the callous indifference of the political regime.
The Hanoi Women's Club arose from the desire of hundreds of women from many countries for a haven of friendship in a foreign city. This small group of caring individuals will single-handedly set out to affect change in a country still ravaged by the injustices of poverty, the exploitation of women and children and the lingering effects of war."

Maxwell’s all consuming desire is to have it all; his fate is waiting for him...

Their task tonight was to protect the foreigner in their midst, to deliver him unharmed to their leader, Khot Choung. He was a hard man; a veteran of countless, bloody terrorist attacks on government facilities and important people.
Paul Maxwell strode silently between the war-hardened soldiers; he sweated profusely as he climbed the mountain trail, which led to the secret location. Maxw |
