Gonji: Red Blade from the East

The first book in The Deathwind Trilogy, which re-launches the popular 1980s adventure-fantasy series from Zebra Books. Zebra canceled their entire fantasy line after the fifth book, before the series could reach its intended closure. The plan is to complete the entire epic-series story arc for a new generation of fantasy readers. The series concerns a legendary halfbreed samurai-Viking named Gonji Sabatake, who is impelled by Destiny itself to quest after an ageless mystery and confound a timeless supernatural tyranny which takes him from medieval Japan, through Europe, and on into worlds unknown. Monsters, magic, and---above all---rich, lived-in characters abound, in a series teeming with resounding action and dynamic human interaction.
