Why read it?

1 author picked Tiger Season as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a beautiful story. Gojan Nikolich doesn’t just set the reader at the 1960s Korean DMZ, but rather enlists them into the US Army and puts them on patrol. Nikolich’s novel masterfully weaves together the tumultuous love story of SP4 Eddie Profar and a brothel courtesan with intense geopolitical tension, communist plots, and—possibly—a man-eating Siberian tiger.

With compelling characters and smart dialogue, Nikolich captures the chaos and danger of a world on the brink of another war.
