About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Star of the North by D. B. John, read by Linda Park, with an author's note read by the author.

North Korea and the United States are on the brink of war.

A young American woman disappears without trace from a South Korean island.

The CIA recruits her twin sister to uncover the truth.

Now she must go undercover in the world’s most deadly state.

Only by infiltrating the dark heart of the terrifying regime will she be able to save her sister... and herself.

Star of the North is the most explosive thriller of the year - you won't be able to pause it.

"Tense and compelling." (James Swallow, Sunday Times best-selling author of Nomad)

"A superior thriller...steeped in the intrigue, culture and family of a closed regime." (Andrew Gross, New York Times best-selling author)

North Korea's Shining Star

Hard to stop listening. Well told story line which manages to convey the immense hardship of living under the leadership of a person so fond of himself with a nation's love, confusion and adoration following forceably, willingly. A paradox for the people of North Korea.
