About this ebook

In this tale of intrigue, love and revenge, spanning three decades and two continents, retired CIA operative, West Lambert, returns to help the Agency discover the secret behind a cutting edge computer chip manufactured in Lushan, China which could affect the economic balance of power in the world. Traveling first to Hong Kong, Lambert meets and enlists the aid of a beautiful martial arts master, Ching Ping, who is from Lushan. They discover that a revolutionary drug, Joss, developed by Shih Liping, Lamberts nemeses from his early days in Laos, is responsible for the industry changing success at Lushan. Lambert and Ping are sent to acquire Joss for America and in the quest, overcome assassins sent by a Japanese company also vying for the rights to Joss. Joss becomes the catalyst for dramatic increases in American productivity, but the CIA is not satisfied and plots to gain control of Joss.

Lambert is covertly dropped into Lushan tasked with stealing the formula. There, he is betrayed by Ping with whom he has become romantically involved and discovers she is actually Shihs daughter. Lambert is devastated when Shih reveals that he deliberately inserted Joss into American culture because he has the ability to alter the molecular structure of Joss to render it highly addictive. Shih boasts that years earlier, when Lambert was in Hong Kong, that he staged a boating explosion to make it appear that Lamberts first love, Bergita, perished. In reality, Shih took Bergita captive, raped her and conceived Ping. Ping overhears her father and in a rage attacks and mortally wounds him. She releases Lambert and together they destroy the Joss manufacturing plant before escaping to America with the prized secret formula.

Warren Shulman

Warren Shulman was an honors graduate from the University of Georgia undergraduate and law school.  Early in his career, he was a distinguished covert operations officer with the CIA.  At the height of the Vietnamese War and China’s Cultural Revolution, he served in Hong Kong, running clandestine operations into China and North Viet Nam.  His experience there provided the kindling for The Lushan Addiction, although its premise is totally fiction.  Lushan is a well known resort where in 1970, the Chinese Politburo held a secret plenum to discuss the future role of the Communist Party and possible rapprochement with America.  Lin Biao, head of the People’s Liberation Army and Mao Tse Tung’s heir apparent, opposed Mao’s policy.  Shortly thereafter, Lin sought to oust Mao as Part Chariman.  When his coup aborted, Lin and his family tried to escape by private jet to the Soviet Union.  The plane inexplicably crashed over Mongolia and all aboard perished.  Mr. Shulman obtained this historic information from a source in China and reported it to our government years before it was publicly known.   After leaving the Agency, Mr. Shulman became a prominent trial attorney and co-authored a leading legal work on Georgia Civil Procedure.  He later was a candidate for Mayor of Atlanta, running a spirited race before succumbing to Ambassador Andrew Young.  Mr. Shulman now practices law and serves as a Mediator on a part time basis in Atlanta, Georgia.
