Title: Poor Writing
Product review: I struggled to get through this apparently strange spin-off of Clavell's novel, "Gai-Jin". The author cobbled together some bizarre plot elements, but he fails to connect the dots. Plus his prose is awful. He definitely needs a good editor. The story takes place in Japan in 1860, and spans a little over a year. I could believe the missionary, but the gunfighter was preposterous. The characters were in general cardboard caricatures. The author seemed to concentrate more on bloody action than character development. I cannot recommend this book to anyone.
