Yakuza boss Katashi Goto is retiring from the mob. Before he does, there is one more thing to achieve: revenge over a centuries old enemy.

Members Reviews:

Wow!!! What a story!

This is the first book by this author and narrator that I have listened to. I found it quite enjoyable. The author was able to give such vivid imagery and I loved the glimpses of Japanese history and culture. I thought the book moved along quite well and had enough character development for its short length. The narrator was able to convey so many emotions, and did a great job with the various characters. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. I was provided with this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher, and/or narrator at my request and voluntarily left this review. In addition to being full of action, this book does give some great insight into the Japanese culture, and some unexpected humor.

Well done! Awesome story.

Would you listen to The Samurai Code again? Why?

Yes I would, Kenneth Bryant is an awesome narrator based on his performance and he nailed the Japanese voices.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The MC Hiram Kane because he reminds me of Indiana Jones and I can easily see him fitting into a movie adaption. Steve has clearly crafted this character very well!

Have you listened to any of Kenneth Bryants other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I have not, this is my first time hearing Kenneth. He puts the feeling into each character including the Japanese Boss. This guy has a great talent!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me laugh a few times, but it kept me on the edge of my seat. Reading the book was great, but in audio format, it's 10 times better. This could easily be the British version of Indiana Jones!

Hints of an adventurer with more of a tale to tell

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book introduces Hiram Kane and as such, moved slower than usual. There are hints that there is more to come on Hiram's background, but there is sufficient detail in this book to give a rounded story. Not as much of a mystery as I thought there would be but the small insights into Japanese culture added to the overall reading enjoyment. I received this audio book for free and voluntarily reviewed.

Interesting.

A tale of samurai, and a good story line makes this book interesting. I received this audio book for free and voluntarily reviewed.

This just wasn't quite for me.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes, because it was from an author I had never read before and I like to periodically try out different ones. Now I know.
