Can a catatonic thief change history? Ray Mitchell is a history professor in San Francisco with a secret obsession for liberating black-market antiquities. He steals a 16th century golden Japanese sword from the private residence of a racketeer in Greece, believing it is key to a neglected, historical legend. Then, he collapses at the end of an otherwise flawless heist. Ray's sister Catherine, founder of a Silicon Valley technology startup, is forced to combine her expertise and technology with that of her cheating ex-husband, who runs a brain wave research center, to help her unconscious brother. In his catatonic state, Ray experiences the sword's history. He battles pirates and slave traders in feudal 16th century Japan, and he leads a band of samurai to rescue the daughter of a warlord only known in a forgotten legend.

J Feder was born in Massachusetts and mostly grew up in Poughkeepsie, New York before heading off to university. He spent most of his 20's and 30's travelling in or dreaming of Southeast Asia. This was for a mix of adventure and experiential living, always with an eye towards weaving those interests into his writing. J Feder currently lives near San Francisco with his family. By day, he's an engineering program manager at one of Silicon Valley's famous tech firms. By weekend, he's a novelist. 'Shadow of the Golden Blade' is his first serious foray into writing and publishing fiction. It was collaboratively conceived and written with co-author Ley Preston, an old university friend that lives on the other side of the continent. [www.federpreston.com]
