The Asian Queen tells the compelling and poignant story of a
war-torn Cambodia following the aftermath of the Vietnam War. In this
work of historical fiction,Esther Brafford is a young American
volunteer for the United Nations who wants to have a positive impact on the
lives of Cambodian refugees seeking asylum in US camps. Each day, she witnesses
the horrific injuries that many Cambodian natives are left with - if they are
lucky enough to escape with their lives - and she wishes she could do more to
help them. However, after discovering that there might be incriminating
evidence against Pol Pot, head of the Khmer Rouge, for leading a mass Cambodian
genocide, Esther knows this is her opportunity to bring about real change. She decides
that she must venture into Cambodia to find the proof and bring it to the
United Nations in an attempt to put an end to the slaughter. With the help of
Heng, a former member of the Khmer Rouge, and Monty Tipton, an American Vietnam
War deserter manning the riverboat The Asian Queen, Esther must make the perilous
trip back into Cambodia to retrieve the evidence and bring to light the horrors
happening in that country before it is too late. Will Tipton help her?
If he does, will they make it out of there alive?
