He was recruited to be a ghost. He will become a legend.
Ming Lee's war isn't just against the Japanese. It's against the country he calls home. As a Chinese Canadian, he is denied basic rights in the nation he loves. His only path to proving his worth is to join Force 136, a covert and deniable Allied unit on a suicide mission deep behind enemy lines.
Dropped into the jungles of occupied Malaya, Ming and his squad are tasked with destroying a critical bridge. But they soon discover a far more terrifying enemy lurking in the shadows: a supernatural entity that feeds on fear and prejudice, turning the men's own suspicions into weapons against them.
While his comrades rely on brute force, Ming's mind is his greatest asset. Using the ancient, strategic principles of Go, he must outthink an opponent who can anticipate their every move. As the mission descends into a nightmare and his squad turns on itself, Ming must make an impossible choice: complete the mission and save his country, or sacrifice everything to expose the true evil hunting them-an evil that mirrors the very racism he sought to escape.
A gripping historical thriller infused with supernatural horror, Force 136: Canada's Oblivion Gambit is a heart-pounding tale of sacrifice, identity, and the war within of the Chinese Canadian soldiers who fought for a freedom they were denied at home.
