Review: Interesting espionage short

I find a lot of these short espionage stories to be really tedious reading with cardboard heroes, dull settings, and one-dimensional opponents.  I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this story.  Milton is talented, but he also has real feelings and he isn't a superhero.  The North Korean setting was unusual.  I have no idea how realistic it was (I've never been), but it seemed authentic and there were enough little details to make me feel as if the setting truly was alien.  I also enjoyed the scenes from the POV of the North Korean officer.  This story interested me in checking out other books by Dawson.
