His book released today. I'm thinking about getting it. Might even be worth a review.

Wasn't Tom Cruise the last Ninja?  Or was that the Last Galactic Overlord?  Something about him being
the very best, last Japanese guy even though he is from New York or New Jersey or New Sarepta or something?

LB do you have a link to that book? I just bought a new release on the history of the ninja and it's got to be the same one. How many could there be?

That's it. I have it. I should be reading it in the next few weeks and can do a review if you'd like. Also if you want to borrow it just let me know.

OK. When I'm done and reviewed it perhaps we can barter.
