Ed Teja
Songs of Saigon
Cole Miller is a young Chinese-American OSS agent working the shadows of Japanese-occupied Saigon. He comes back from a mission to find his boss and friend dead in a shot-up cafe, and a Minister of Security who wants the murder pinned on him.
“The bullets fired into the cafe changed his life forever.”
Espionage, colonial politics, a dangerous affair, and betrayal in every shadow. If you love spy fiction where loyalty is expensive and nobody is clean, this one is for you.

Reading Songs of Saigon early
If you want to read Songs of Saigon early, an ARC copy is how it happens: a free advance copy through BookFunnel ahead of release, in exchange for nothing more than your honest opinion once you’ve read it. Reviews are voluntary and they are yours. An honest two-star review from a reader who didn’t get on with the book is worth more to everyone than a five-star one written out of politeness.
One list for everything Ed Teja writes
Following Ed Teja puts you on the list for every future release, with the chance to join each ARC team as it opens.

The reader guide covers how teams work, and the review guide covers what to write when you’ve finished.
