I liked this book. It is a fast-paced story, with interesting characters and a well-thought out plot.

The writing is very fluid and clear. It does not presume on your morality, it does not try to explain or justify historical happenings, and the writer presents a very down-to-earth human situation set in a time and place that is far enough away (from me) to be fantastic, yet real enough to hold (at least my) attention.

It is like Shogun written by a Zen disciple. Which is what it is. I can't wait to read the second volume!!
