Foreword to Taiwan Readers Thank you for taking the time to read The Thirteenth Hour.This book seems to have a life of its own after publication. Not only is it distributed all over the world, New Line Films will also bring it to the big screen in the near future. I am honored to be able to distribute this book in Taiwan.I am a person who is passionate about mountaineering and various outdoor activities, and the island of Taiwan satisfies my thirst for adventure.From the majestic Jade Mountain to the majestic Taroko, from Dongao to Yehliu with its special rock formations, the scenery is like jumping out of a fairy tale, this place is really amazing, even unbeatable.Because I am a writer, my impression of Taiwan is a fusion of my own experience and the imagination of the above places.

"The Thirteenth Hour" is a novel in flashback form that I wrote within a month.In writing this book, I have to try to retrace future events even if they haven't happened yet.There is joy in every adventure and every book I create, and there is never enough.Hope you enjoy this trip as much as I do. all the best richard
