Butch Wehry continues his majestic saga of Korea with the characters from COREA DAWN in COREA DUSK, adding new characters encountering the thrill and mysticism and intrigues of the old Kingdom as Timothy Tubert, at the request of the royal couple, accompanies forces south to put down the Tonghak rebellion during the Sino-Corean War. Readers are present when the Corean queen is slaughtered and accompany him by the king’s request to the Japanese-Russo War in Pyongyang at last settles foreign supremacy that causes the end of the 500 year-old dynasty and the loss of Tubert’s beloved trading station in Inchon. They accompany him as he transports supplies to his new home at the American concession operated gold mines in North Corea and the heartbreak of his Corean wife being bayoneted by Japanese during a peaceful protest march. After nearly half a century in Corea, after foreign powers leave and the Japanese burn the United States treaty with Chaoshien, a near-broken Tubert is about to leave on a steamer when an old voice, his old friend Pak, calls to him. They disappear into the northern mountains of their youth to fight the Japanese occupation and takeover as the old dynasty and land are annexed as a Japanese province. This novel is more violent than the first.
