| Summary | October 3rd, Shōwa X. A frail, emaciated Western man shuffles off a ferry in Shimonoseki, his vacant eyes betraying nothing. But to the astute ears of Japanese intelligence, a single cryptic telegram – 'Record' 'Shimonoseki' 'Boarded Fuji' – signals the arrival of something far more sinister than an innocent traveler. A young bellboy and a shrewd navy surgeon are thrust into a covert operation to uncover the truth behind the 'Human Record' – a terrifying Soviet invention that transforms unsuspecting individuals into living vessels for dangerous communist propaganda. As political tensions escalate and the shadow of ideological warfare looms, they must extract the hidden message without triggering their ruthless adversaries. With the fate of East Asia at stake, what chilling secrets are locked within this human vessel, and can they be unraveled before they ignite a global conflict? |
