I would like to announce the publication of my book, The Invitation-Only
Zone: The True Story of North Korea's Abduction Project
<http://www.theinvitationonlyzone.com/>, published by FSG in the US, and by
Atlantic Books in the UK.

The book both tells the story of the Japanese who were abducted by North
Korea in the late nineteen-seventies, and the story of how Japan and Korea
developed such a vexed relationship.
