Telbat, is a covert mission suspense that takes place in and around North Korea. As a storm brews across the high seas, Protagonist Troy Forge—though still suffering from pain and loss after a work-related stabbing—sets sail in his customized catamaran on a dangerous smuggling mission to the closed communist country of North Korea. Just days after leaving California's West Coast, the voyage proves to be anything but a smooth trip. Facing many risks and dangers, Troy makes surprising discoveries—including an opportunity for revenge toward the man who scarred him—and his life is changed forever. Ho Kichun is a networker for the Christian Underground Church inside North Korea. As he travels secretly serving persecuted Christians throughout the mountainous terrain, he prays to meet his covert contact—if Kichun isn't killed by an assassin first! Contraband smuggler Merrick Jolan is hot after Troy to kill the Christian sailor by way of his Russian bodyguard, Dmitri. But if Troy can't meet Elephant on time, the Christian underground network may crumble. Laura Zisk leaves a broken past in her wake that she refuses to face.
