Kingdom of Sharks

by Andrew Johnston

Overview

It's a bad start to one's career: Alone in a foreign country, broke, homeless, living on borrowed time with an expired visa. That was just the start of one teacher's sojourn through the People's Republic of China. It started in an enclave of the social elite, winding through isolated farming villages before concluding in a burgeoning financial center. And at each stop, a sea of friendly, smiling faces - the smile of a predator longing to tear off a piece for himself. This is the Middle Kingdom, a place where business is savage and nothing is free of its influence - not even education.

About the Author

Hailing from a small rural town, Andrew Johnston spent most of his life in Kansas, graduating from the University of Kansas with a Political Science degree in 2008. In his youth, he wrote for a number of websites, including a mid-sized political site called Political Strategy and a perpetually-in-progress browser-based game called Tenadia. After college, he worked as an ESL teacher in the People's Republic of China, which would later inspire his first book Kingdom of Sharks.
