... a fantastic adventure that floors the reader on page one and keeps them there until the end. The pace is furious and the martial arts detail authentic -- Eoin Colfer A beautifully written, excellently researched and thoughtfully presented work ... Chris Bradford has caputered the essence of what it meant to be samurai -- Sensei Akemi, eldest daughter of an old samurai family and Lecturer of Japanese Culture A really exciting, action-packed martial arts adventure ... the fast pace and attention to detail makes this a wonderful read for all children, whether they are involved in martial arts or not -- Steve Cowley, 6th Dan Instructor Kyo Shin Taijutsu
