Description
The 47th Samurai by Stephen Hunter is a gripping thriller that reunites Bob Lee Swagger with his gritty past. A chance encounter at Iwo Jima, 1945, sets off a chain of events when Yano, the son of a Japanese soldier who survived the battle, arrives in America to recover a legendary sword used by his father. Bob Lee Swagger, an ex-marine and Vietnam veteran, is drawn into Yano's quest and soon finds himself at the center of a series of deadly crimes. As he delves deeper into the world of Tokyo's yakuza underworld, he must navigate the complex rules of Japanese culture to survive. With the help of his allies Susan Okada and Nick Yamamoto, Swagger embarks on a perilous journey that will test his skills and push him to become something more than just a warrior. As Bob Lee Swagger becomes increasingly entangled in this world, one thing becomes clear: to survive, he must become samurai.
