John Donohue is a very, very cool guy.
Why? Because of his book, Sensei. If you're a fan of suspense thrillers, or martial arts stories, then you'll love this. Here's what it says on the back of the book.
"The roninof old were masterless samurai, renegades fallen from grace. Now, a modern-day ronin is traveling across the country, systematically killing martial arts masters in ritualized combat.
After a similar murder in New York, martial artist Connor Burke's detective brother suspects Yamashita Sensei--Connor's mentor--of withholding vital information. Caught in the tension between his volatile sibling and his revered sensei, Connor enters a shadowy, closed-off world where the ways of the East and West are lethally at odds--and an assassin of exceptional skill and cunning is about to strike again."
A little melodramatic? Maybe so. But, so far, this book has done nothing but please. Donohue has a great sense of humor and timing, along with one hell of a track record: black belts in both karatedo and kendo, and he has studied aikido, iaido, judo, and taiji! So, he's got some experience with martial arts.
If you're a hugemongous fan of martial arts, suspense/mystery stories, or you're just looking for a really good read, go out and buy Sensei (by John Donohue, in case you haven't caught on yet).
