I’m so impressed! Amy Rogers keeps getting better. In the past I’ve likened her books to Michael Crichton’s. Now I compare THE HAN AGENT to Richard Preston’s fiction (THE COBRA EVENT), an even greater compliment .

First, the Han agent is not a person. Think chemistry.

An ambitious Japanese-American scientist, Amika, is hired by a pharmaceutical company in Japan. The members of the family who own the company descend from World War II war criminals who were in the process of devising a chemical agent to obliterate the Han Chinese when the war ended and they had to pack up and leave. But Amika is sure all that is in the past, that the family should not have to pay for “the sins of the father.” So she gets along with them, particularly her boss, even when things begin to look suspicious.

As in Rogers’ other books, the science here is real. But THE HAN AGENT is also, for the most part, historically correct. That’s what makes this book better than her previous books.
