Synopsis
The year is 1990. Vietnam and America have not yet made peace. Vietnam is freshly wounded from fighting border wars with China and on the eve of becoming a market economy. The first bombing of the World Trade Center is three years away, so America is not yet awake to the dangers of terrorism.
Vietnam and America begin to recognize the importance of ending their differences. Mission in Paris 1990 is the story of how an American media tycoon, Robert Samberg, whose youth in 1968 tied him to Vietnam’s future, is recruited to serve his country, never expecting that a mission to explore political reconciliation would lead him to a path of personal reconciliation.
On the eve of his greatest business triumph, he rediscovers My Hanh, a long-lost love from Vietnam, and learns they have a son. Robert’s life is upended in this tale about the enduring strength of love and the power of forgiveness.

“A love story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Robert Samberg’s path to reclaiming love takes the reader through unexpected twists of intrigue; government missions, terror threats, kidnappings – I was riveted. While in Paris in his youth, Robert and a Vietnamese girl fell in love. Their nations were at war and she was forced to leave. In beautifully written passages they reunite as adults; she giving up her political power, and he, control of his mega-corporation to at last be together. These elegantly written pages brought tears to my eyes. This book is truly a great read!”

"This short book packs a punch and is full of political intrigue, action, history, patriotism, lies, secrets, struggle, redemption, and love. I enjoyed it so much that I need to read the first in the series, even with already knowing what happens between Robert and My Hanh – I want the whole story!"
