The truly epic saga of John Mung, the man who helped shape Japan’s destiny, continues in this fourth unputdownable novel.

Mung, one of the first Japanese to encounter the western world, has been recalled to public life at the age of sixty-seven. He may be old but his reputation is formidable. As leader of the Black Dragon society, the secret eyes and ears of the Meiji Emperor, he is a man to be revered — and attacked.

The clouds of war are looming over the Far East. Mung’s name as a peacemaker makes him and his family targets of intrigue as Japan’s military elite thirst once again for the bloody honour of combat. The first victim of the evil Shibata’s cunning manipulations is Mung’s adoptive grandson, Hiroki.

With Japan flexing her military muscle first toward Korea and China, and then, dangerously, against the might of Russia, these are turbulent times for Mung. Times that call upon his reserves of inner strength and strategic skills to ensure victory...
