The Quest

The sword is lost.

While on a mission into Laos in 1969, Peter Rainey leaves the Rainey sword in the care of a wounded, young North Vietnamese soldier he helped before he is captured by intelligence officer Pho Tan Li. After his escape, he goes on a journey to recover the sword with the young soldier and a Special Forces sergeant.

Li has her own problems. Recalled to Hanoi to face charges of sedition, she is saved by a mission to find the owner of a sword that was presented to her uncle, Ho Chi Minh. The weapon is a link to a man Minh met during the Versailles Treaty meetings in Paris fifty years earlier.

Rainey's search for the sword and Li's search for him becomes a quest that will change both their lives forever.
