Royal Love Affair Endangers US Interests in Thailand
Marietta, GA – June 25, 2002
Tales of the Yellow Silk is a historical romance novel set in Thailand after the close of the Vietnam War. The story's main character, James Kendle, is a sergeant in the US Army. Kendle's first assignment after completing Ranger School at Fort Benning is command of a Long-Range Recon Patrol based in Lopburi, Thailand. Ironically, Delta's first assignment after moving to U Taphao Airbase, is honor guard duty at the Royal Palace of King Bhumipol. Here Kendle meets Princess Mai and falls deeply in love. Their attraction is instantaneous, but the relationship is difficult for both of them to pursue.
Kendle soon comes to learn that the US State Department and the Thai Monarchy have discovered his relationship with the princess. Forbidden to pursue it any further, Kendle is given one last opportunity to see Mai if he and his team will conduct a deep insertion into Cambodia to escort out a high level CIA operative. He and his team agree.
However, the mission goes horribly wrong
