ISBN: 9780688128722.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the remote unexplored highlands of Tibet there is a secret place called Shangri-La. Shadowed by mountain peaks and untouched by time, Shangri-La is a hidden utopia, open only to the most worthy of humankind. The curious and the bold all come searching for paradise, but only a few find it.\nShangri-La is the chilling story of one such seeker. It is spring, 1966, and the atrocities of the Chinese Cultural Revolution have reached Tibet. General Zhang, of the invading Peoples Liberation Army, is a fortune hunter with plunder on his mind. Nothing is safe from him, especially Tibets sacred treasures. His path of destruction and desecration leads him ever closer to the very heart of Tibet: Shangri-La.\nOnly one person can stop General Zhang: Hugh Conway, guardian of Shangri-La. As Zhang slowly decodes the riddles that shroud this earthly paradise, Conway must find a way to halt the generals determined progress, even if it means leaving his protected valley and sacrificing himself. Conways unlikely ally is Zhangs daughter, a young officer in the Chinese army, who must choose between loyalty and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"William Morrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665998012469,"sku":"ByrdShop_0688128726","price":20.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780688128722_49108c18-c816-4a04-8258-146990819940.jpg?v=1782449765","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/shangrila-the-return-to-the-world-of-lost-horizon-9780688128722","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
