... the story is compelling, with some violence and much court intrigue. The author includes a lot of great detail; some of the descriptions of Japan, especially of the natural features, are quite beautiful... and the battle scenes are tightly composed and suspenseful. ..

EVEN THE ACURSED, FIND SALVATION From the slave markets of India to the battlefields of feudal Japan, Yasuke: Dead Man Walking tells the extraordinary historical fiction story of history's first African samurai. Torn from his family and sold into bondage, Majok endures unimaginable hardships until fate delivers him to Oda Nobunaga, the most powerful warlord in 16th-century Japan. Through courage, honor, and an unbreakable spirit, he transforms from nameless slave Majok to legendary warrior Yasuke, earning the respect of emperors and the hatred of those who refuse to see beyond the color of his skin. But when betrayal strikes at the heart of the empire, Yasuke must face his greatest enemy in a final battle that will determine not only his own fate but also the future of Japan itself. A gripping tale of transformation, brotherhood, and the timeless truth that a man's worth is measured not by his origins, but by his choices.
