The masterless swordsman Musashi Miyamoto wanders the country of Japan in solitude. Men seek his head for vengeance, men seek his head for glory. What Musashi seeks he cannot say. A man scoured of ideals and purpose, defining himself only by the violence in which he was raised. A decade of winnowing leads him ultimately to Kojiro Sasaki, faithful servant of the Lord Hosokawa and revered hero of the invasions of Korea. The two finest swordsmen in the country destined for the dawnlit shores of Ganryu island.
DAVID KIRK, twenty-seven, became interested in Japanese history when his dad gave him a copy of James Clavell's Shogun. Later he would write his dissertation on samurai cinema. Kirk now lives in Japan, where he works as an English-language teacher.
Just finished reading David’s first two books of the series - wow, such incredible writing. I am eagerly awaiting this book release! Highly recommend this series to all.
Nobody will be happier when this book comes to fruition than me. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books and would be simply over the moon to get my hands on this when it is completed. Please Mr. Kirk I know you had second thoughts about writing this book but your writing style is truly unbelievable!!
