But even the demonic hordes of sinister Bonpo magicians are no match for the legendary warrior. For the Mystic Rebel has come to redeem humanity through devastating fire. And he will let no power, earthly or otherwise, come between him and his sacred quest!

Great read!
Good likable characters, with spellbinding action. It was a barn burner, hard to put down. Made me want to take up a sword and stand shoulder to shoulder with my new friends.

I enjoyed this book, but the series as a whole went on to develop the new age religious themes more than the adventure/assassin story, and I lost interest.

A good adventure/action series with everything you need in one book. You get a spy thriller heavily spiced with mystic martial arts and Tibetan Buddhist supernatural flavoring. Recommended
