Bastard Samurai Michael Avon Oeming

Jiro is a student of the KoZu Sword School, an underground training camp in
midtown Manhattan that takes in orphans and twists and transforms them into
Bushido warriors. The Yakuza use these kids in death matches staged across the
city rooftops where Japanese businessmen gamble heavily on the always-fatal
outcome. This killing life is all Jiro has ever known. But a rendezvous with
fate is about to change all of that. In one moment Jiro realizes that everything
he has lived for is a lie. The Samurai live by the Bushido code, one of which is
rectitude: the rightings of wrongs. Now with the only ally he has-his sword
- Jiro is forced to make the hardest decision of his life.
