Crichton's pungent humor blends in with this historical adventure to spin an intriguing yet witty tale that kept me hooked until the last page!

True that Michael Crichton is one of my favorite authors ever, but I didn't know how funny and ironic he could be. This work was therefore an unexpected surprise, and it thoroughly delighted me.

I would recommend this book to anyone with a high sense of adventure, a curiosity for the history of the US expansion in the West, a bonding with the fate of the American Indians, but mostly the propensity to make fun of people and situations no matter how dire their conditions.

His latest work had me hooked from the first page. Events were woven together so intricately yet so perfectly that they came round in a full circle without a single flaw!

And the characters stand out so vividly that it's like I actually know them in real life.

This book is nothing short of superb, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an out-of-the-ordinary plot, a series of unexplainable coincidences and an unexpected ending!

I found the plot incredible in its simplicity and directness. I also fell for Mr. Tsuneo Asai, not just because he's the main character, mostly for his burocratic habits and mannerisms.

But what I liked above all was the description of a particular section of Japanese society, tinged as it was with that rètro flavor given by the almost fifty years' distance since the writing of the book.

I'd definitely recommend it!
