The ninja a novel

Out of the violent chaos of medieval Japan, a band of men from the mountain provinces rose to become some of the world's most feared warriors. These men trained to perfect their art - a deadly union of martial skill and deception - to defend themselves against the warlords, samurai and bandits who sought to exploit them. Hundreds of years later their name is a legend whispered down the generations. A select few are still trained in the ancient craft. Fewer still are selected to train at the feet of the most arcane practitioners of the shadow warriors ... Nicholas Linnear is.

  • "A martial artist's past returns to haunt him in the shape of a ninja. Raised in Japan by a British father and a Chinese mother, young Nicholas Linnear felt at home only in the dojo, where he gave himself over to mastering ninjutsu, the ancient art of the ninja.

There is a ninja loose in New York City, and as the body count rises, it becomes clear that people close to Linnear are being targeted. Only he has the skill to stop a twisted killer with a personal vendetta."@en
  • "Plutôt un roman d'aventures dans le style "thriller" qu'un roman policier, malgré l'enquête et les poursuites. Très bon récit bien écrit et bien traduit. Le ##ninja## est un tueur professionnel en marge de l'honneur "samourai"; ce qui permet à l'auteur, le mettant à l'oeuvre de nos jours, aux Etats-Unis, d'évoquer, avec beaucoup de descriptions visuelles, les caractéristiques de cet assassin furtif et raffiné d'une dangereuse efficacité. Scènes violentes et érotiques qui réservent ce trépidant roman aux lecteurs mûrs. Bonne élaboration critique dans l'article cité."
