LEIDEN, Netherlands — UENK PulpWorks is proud to announce the release of ESCAPE FROM PYONGYANG, a high-octane work of satire and pulp fiction that explores the profound cultural and ideological chasm of a divided Korea. Set against the brutal backdrop of the "Forgotten War," this fast-paced novella by author UENK blends historical tension with a raw, human narrative of survival.

 

A Story of Boundless Ambition and Unyielding Reality

In November 1950, Park Seo-joon, a South Korean medical student turned officer, finds himself trapped behind enemy lines after a devastating battle at the Chongchon River. To survive, he makes a harrowing choice: he strips a fallen North Korean soldier of his uniform and identity.

 

As "Kim Jung-ho," Park must navigate the ruins of Pyongyang, a city gripped by the sudden arrival of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army. His journey into the heart of the North leads him to Lee Soo-jin, a woman mourning her husband, unaware that Park holds a secret that could destroy them both.

 

Key Features of the Publication:

  • Genre: Pure satire and high-octane pulp fiction.
  • Core Themes: An exploration of survival, the human cost of geopolitical division, and the resilience of the human spirit.
  • Historical Backdrop: Carefully researched settings including the 38th parallel, the DMZ, and the Imjin Valley.

Published by UENK PulpWorks in Leiden, the book aims to honor the resilience of those who risked everything for freedom while providing the modern reader with "biting satire and high-octane pulp designed to hook you from the very first page".
