Travis Heermann has simply Got It." – James A. Owen, author of HERE, THERE BE DRAGONS“Lovely details, an honorable character, and great action. Travis Heermann’s Spirit of the Ronin is a rich and entertaining story.” – Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of BLOOD OF THE COSMOS, the JEDI ACADEMY TRILOGY, and THE LAST DAYS OF KRYPTON“As in the previous two volumes... Heermann mixes [action, romance, and history] with a great deal of skill, giving us tense action scenes, extremely well-drawn characters, and an intelligently-handled touch of sorcery. Fantasy and action fans will be every bit as satisfied as fans of historical fiction.” – Historical Novel Society“If you watch Japanese movies or read Japanese literature, three of the most powerful forces in their culture are loyalty, duty and love. The way Heermann pits these forces against one another in the minds of the protagonists is masterful.... In Heermann's Japan, the spirits and gods interact with the world on a daily basis, making for a 'magic system' rarely seen in literature. If you want to read something with a Japanese flavor both accessible and unique, Spirit of the Ronin is as good as you will find.... My only regret was that the story ended.” - New Myths
