Even though the main character is getting older he continues to solve problems as only a marine can solve them; with force. Bob Lee Swagger calls in favors from his past contacts in the intelligence community to seek justice for a new found friend and his family that were murdered. To seek the revenge he deems appropriate for the Japanese business man responsible for the murders Bob Lee gets training in the art of the Samurai and their sword fighting techniques and skills. Here is where the book relies on the reader's gullibility as Swagger, in only two weeks training, is able to face SIX Samurai and kill all of them except one, with a sword. The author tries to justify the slaughter by weaving the tale that Swagger was able to "trick" the Samurai with a drunken act. I did not buy it but the fight of six to one was necessary for future endeavors by Swagger. Still an overall good book and the Bob Lee character is one of my favorites at this time.
