Mr. Hunter is second to none in any story with firearms as a major component. He takes his favorite character, Bob Lee Swagger, through a sword story this time and the story is quite entertaining. He touches on the mystical things normally attached to the Japanese Samurai sword which is, after all, just a piece of steel and wood. Undoubtedly a fine piece of steel and in the hands of a skilled swordsman a fearsome weapon for killing in close quarters, but mystical? The mystique, if any, lies in the hands of the operator. Very good story.
