Synopsis

This story takes place in the then Shanghai which is occupied by the Japanese troops before the rule of the Chinese Communist Party. Kurt Reid is farmed as a killer and has to flee to Shanghai, where many new things emerge which is full of mystery as a result of the open and secret strife among the few forces. When he was taking refuge in the tea house, Kurt Reid saved a girl named Varinka Savischna from the Republic of Belarus and later met his old acquaintance Annie. Unfortunately, he was caught by the Chinese villains and had to make a deal with them: to kill a Japanese spy to get the evidence that may help prove that he is innocent.

As he wrung the water from his clothes he discarded his memories one by one. As mate of the Rangoon, he had been known as a bucko sailor, a hard case who struck first and questioned afterward, renowned for a temper as hot and swift as a glowing rapier.

And the reputation had not helped him when the captain had been found dead in his cabin and when it was discovered that the safe was open and empty. Kurt Reid had been the last man to see the captain alive, so they thought.

Shanghai stretched before him, and behind it lay all of China. If he could not escape there, he thought, he deserved to die. His only regret now was the lack of money he had been accused of stealing. A man does not go far on a few American dollars.

—L. Ron Hubbard
