Zero supervision.” And just like that, Ever Wong’s summer takes an unexpected turn. Gone is Chien Tan, the strict educational program in Taiwan that Ever was expecting. In its place, she finds Loveboat: a summer-long free-for-all where hookups abound, adults turn a blind eye, snake-blood sake flows abundantly, and the nightlife runs nonstop. But not every student is quite what they seem: Ever is working toward becoming a doctor but nurses a secret passion for dance. Rick Woo is the Yale-bound child prodigy bane of Ever’s existence whose perfection hides a secret. Boy-crazy, fashion-obsessed Sophie Ha turns out to have more to her than meets the eye. And under sexy Xavier Yeh’s shell is buried a shameful truth he’ll never admit. When these students’ lives collide, it’s guaranteed to be a summer Ever will never forget. “A unique story from an exciting and authentic new voice.” —Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of An Ember in the Ashes “Equal parts surprising, original, and intelligent.

K. Choi. Sophie Ha and Xavier Yeh have what some would call a tumultuous past. Hearts were broken, revenge was plotted – but at least they’re friends now. They left the drama behind them back in Taipei – at their summer program, Loveboat – forever. Now that fall is here, they’re focusing on what really matters. Sophie has sworn off boys and is determined to be the best student Dartmouth’s ever had. Xavier just wants to stay under his overbearing father’s radar, collect his trust fund when he turns eighteen, and concentrate on what makes him happy. But the world doesn’t seem to want Sophie and Xavier to succeed. Sophie’s college professor thinks her first major project is “too feminine.” Xavier’s father gives him an ultimatum: finish high school or be cut off from his inheritance. Then Sophie and Xavier find themselves on a wild, nonstop Loveboat reunion, hatching a joint plan to take control of their futures. Can they succeed together . . . or are they destined to combust?

Fictional action first written 10 years ago is even more relevant today. Islamic jihadists attempt to infiltrate the US. Attacks on Canada are thwarted. Islamic Americans struggle to adapt but some excel. Gay lesbian issues influence characters. Al Qaeda exploits Russian medical technology to create a double to infiltrate the US and obtain crucial military secrets. His discovery by surreptitious means provides the thread to tie together a plot and subplots that intrigue readers with trials and tribulations of Islamic Americans and their difficulties adapting and susceptibility to exploitation. Another Islamic American shows ability to succeed and helps rescue others from difficult situations. Undercover Islamic FBI resources provide valuable clues to thwart Islamic terrorist activities in Canada. A delightfully naive and trusting innocent Lebanese-American Army officer plays an important role throughout totally unaware of how he plays into the plots. A sensitive caring Syrian medical doctor wants only to begin a new life in North America, but ends up back in the Middle East with a life he would never have anticipated. A Philippine 'war-bride' widow struggles to keep her family together while dealing with issues of her past that come back to haunt her. A twenty-something gay Christian Arab language specialist also uncovers major clues leading to uncovering essential elements of the plot. FBI agents just doing their jobs demonstrate the trials, tribulations, and satisfactions of their jobs. Gay characters, including some in the military in the days of 'don't ask, don't tell' demonstrate that gay persons are just like the broad spectrum of human beings except for their affectional orientation. They play key roles in international intrigue as much as the macho heterosexuals in other adventure intrigue stories. Characters discover aspects of themselves they could never have anticipated. Action moves quickly through the Middle East: Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq; up and down the Appalachian region of the US;through the Midwest, Texas and Mexico; a secret location that can never be mentioned publicly, and concluding in multiple locations in Minnesota, Washington DC, and Baltimore. Be prepared for fictional events first written about 10 years ago to come to life vividly, albeit often regretfully, in recent years.
