About this ebook
Nanashi was born into a life of violence. Delivered from the mean streets by the Heron Clan, he mastered the way of the gun and knife and swiftly ascended through yakuza ranks to become a dreaded enforcer. His latest task? He and an entourage of expert killers are commanded to kidnap Muzaki, a retired world-renowned wrestler under protection of the rival Dragon Syndicate. It should be business as bloody usual for Nanashi and his ruthless brothers in arms, except for the detail that Muzaki possesses a terrifying secret. A secret that will spawn a no-holds barred gang war and send Nanashi on a personal odyssey into immortal darkness.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I listened to the audiobook version, which was probably a bad idea in this case, since the narrator, although capable of creating distinct voices for many characters, did them in accents that were basically American, so the whole Japanese flavor of the story suffered. As for the story, of a group of Yakuza on a hit, it also suffers from an excess of style and a shortage of substance. There are some interesting moments and characters, but it never really comes together as a good story should. Nor does the ending make a lot of sense or provide a sense of completion--but it is the first of a series (so someone else can let me know what becomes of Nanashi!)
