I just read The Way of the Sword by Chris Bradford. In this epic novel, British samurai-in-training Jack Fletcher struggles with prejudice, ninja, and his rival Kazuki who believes that gaijin, or foreigners, do not belong in Japan. In this installment of the series, Jack also enters the Circle of Three trials. If he passes them, he will be chosen to compete in the three challenges of Mind, Body and Spirit to determine if he is worthy enough to learn the Two Heavens, a legendary technique taughtAgain, a good book, and this time I enjoyed all of it. It reminded me of another book that where the main character also has to pass multiple tests for something (unfortunately, I can't remember the title, but it'll come to me). A good follow up to the first book, The Way of the Warrior .
This book is a great follow up to the first book and the plot was great yet again.

Chris Bradford perfectly captures the 17th century Japan, the culture, their code of honour and spirit of bushido.Though Jack struggled in Japan, he has also thrived, now he has the chance to claim even more glory, competing in an even called the circle of the three.

Each subsequent book you pick up is like a brand new packet of crisps, bursting with
After being shipwrecked, rescued and taught the way of the warrior, he begins the next part of his training, the way of the sword, in which he learns to fight blind-folded with a bō staff, from a newly employed instructor at the academy.
Entertainment & enlightenment on many levels for any ages Its clear to see how a 9 year old or 12 year old could enjoy the action and suspense of this book. Precocious or not. Its also easy to see how an 18 year old could enjoy the book. Or a 22 year old. Or anyone from 30 to 101. Because the book is multi-layered. If you just want to concentrate on the action sequences you can do that. But if you want to dwell on the fighting techniques and understand them you can go there too. If you want
