Produktbeschreibung

On April 21, 1701, Yazama Jiutar, a young Japanese samurai is devastated when he and his fellow warriors are informed of the ritual suicide of their master in punishment for a severe offence. The warriors are now roninmasterless and on the runbut they vow vengeance on the court official whom they blame, promising to return in force at the New Year, December 31, 1702. They know that their revenge, no matter how justified, will only lead to their own deaths by the same ritual suicide. The band separates and scatters and Jiutar heads south. As he crosses the sea from the main island of Honshu to that of Kyushu, his boat is hit by a tempest. When the storm abates, he finds himself in a world populated by races and species of peoples familiar, strange, and terrifying. Believing himself to be in one of the hells he has heard of in myths, theater, and stories, he knows he has to find a way back to the home he is far away from.

Autorenporträt

Paul Boyce began creatively writing during his time in the military and as a civil servant when producing reports for his managers and industry. He spends many hours in planning cunning ways in killing off his wife, stepson, son, and daughter-in-law and anyone else foolish enough to partake in a certain fantasy role-playing game. Unfortunately, he was recently diagnosed with MS, which gives him plenty of time to tap away on the keys of his laptop. He still has a very high respect for the use of punctuation, a dying art these days, and cannot abide the puerile use of text-speak, especially by the over-thirties (LOL!). He was somewhat disappointed to hear, quite recently, a man in a pub say to his wife, "Don't bother using punctuation in your text, you don't need it!" What is the world coming to when the semicolon is consigned to history? He has already commenced the follow-on manuscripts for Black Harlequin and Far from Home.
