The 47th Samurai

I don't know how I missed it when it came out in '06. Maybe I was lost over in those Baen titles but I was walking the aisles in the library the other day and there on the shelf was a new, to me, Stephen Hunter novel. Better than that it was a new, to me, Bob Lee Swagger novel. I checked that sucker out and read it in two days. I enjoyed it. Its not Point of Impact or Pale Horse Coming but its good. Bob Lee goes to Japan to fulfill a debt of honor and all hell breaks loose. Even when Hunter is a little off his game he is head and shoulders over most of what's out there. I understand he's got another Bob Lee book out. It will have to wait until I finish the latest Repairman Jack novel.
