Two years after the rise of the living dead, in the city of Tokyo, Japan, a man named Ryo Yamamoto, armed with his grandfather's katana, seems destined to live out the rest of his apocalyptic days a loner. However, one day while searching for food, he rescues a young woman from an armed psychopath; it is love at first sight for the pair. This meeting will have wonderful and devastating repercussions on Ryo's life and everyone's life his path crosses.
Ryo's rescue of the young woman earns him the nickname "the Samurai." However, a bandit dressed in a suit of ancient samurai armor called "the Scarlet Rider" kills the young woman ending the union these young lovers share with one another. The Scarlet Rider, who outmatches the Samurai at every turn, gives only one reason for the murder--revenge. Ryo does not know what he could have done to deserve this, but he will slice his way through countless hordes of undead to take his revenge. Along the way, the Samurai makes allies and enemies--assassins and bandits. Yet, unbeknownst to Ryo, something in the world is changing--the undead become even deadlier.
As the weeks count down to its climactic final showdown, the Samurai must battle his arch nemesis, the Scarlet Rider. Yet, will he have what it takes to defeat the man or at least die trying. Written with a mix of humor, macabre and filled with the rawness of youth, Zombies & Modern Samurai is a page-turning, ruthless novel about revenge and the extremes one will go to have retribution, about family, friendship, and that one truelove--who slipped away.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could review it as well. Thanks! I hope you enjoy it!
Oh, and my birthday is coming up on the 23rd--sympathy points. :)
