The 47th samurai / Stephen Hunter.
In the midst of the bloody battle for Iwo Jima, two soldiers clashed; in their hand-to-hand combat, only one survived. Now Philip Yano, the son of the brave Japanese soldier who died that day, has traveled to the United States, hoping to recover his father's sword. Eventually, his quest leads him to the Idaho doorstep of Bob Lee Swagger, the son of the American serviceman who killed his father. A Vietnam vet himself, Bob Lee agrees to help Yano in the search. They find the sword, but it doesn't take long for this unlikely pair to discover that the weapon has a pedigree far more hallowed and dangerous than that of any standard World War II issue. Readers of Point of Impact and Time to Hunt won't have to be told that Bob Lee Swagger wades into the ensuing danger with heroic aplomb. A gritty, tightly sprung, manly thriller.
