After his ship is attacked by ninja pirates, Jack finds himself stranded in "the Japans." He's taken in by a powerful warrior family, but as the gaijin (foreigner) son, he must prove himself as a warrior to quell prejudice and be fully accepted. The setting is vivid and the action fast paced; Japanese words are included throughout, making the appended glossary useful.
