Biography
The book was presented as a military manual written in 1978 by Arne Treholt, who in 1985 was convicted of high treason and espionage on behalf of the Soviet Union and Iraq. In spite of the fact that he had no previous experience from the movie industry, in December 2008 Malling received 10.5 million in support from the Norwegian Film Institute to make a film based on the book. In the film, slated for release in August 2010 under the title Norwegian Ninja (Kommandør Treholt & ninjatroppen), an alternative universe-Treholt leads a group of ninjas set up by then-King Olav V to combat the Soviets. Treholt allegedly gave his consent to write both the book and the movie.
