Synopsis
One man. Two worlds. A legend that refused to die.
In 1579, a giant from Africa arrived on the shores of Japan—not as a conqueror, but as property. Amidst the blood-soaked chaos of the Sengoku period, he was more than a curiosity; he was a warrior waiting for a cause. When the legendary warlord Oda Nobunaga looked at him, he didn't see a slave—he saw a Samurai.
Between Worlds: The Impossible Life of Yasuke is a gripping historical thriller that reimagines the epic journey of history’s only African Samurai. From the brutal slave holds of Portuguese carracks to the inner sanctums of Japanese power, Yasuke must navigate a deadly landscape of political intrigue, ancient honor codes, and the shadow of his own forgotten past.
But Yasuke carries more than just a sword. Hidden within an African carving is a secret legacy from his father—intelligence that could dismantle the global slave trade. As he rises to the rank of Samurai, he becomes the target of a shadowy consortium determined to bury his father’s secrets forever.
Witness the reckoning at Honnō-ji. Survive the fires of betrayal. Experience the impossible life.
Perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden, David Mitchell’s The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, and gritty historical epics like Shōgun, this novel blends pulse-pounding action with profound social observation and psychological suspense.

À propos de l?auteur
Robert Walker spent thirty-five years in the sports betting industry in Las Vegas, a career that provided unexpected training for analyzing the British monarchy. He learned early that the favorite doesn't always win, but the house always survives. When not calculating the survival odds of historical dynasties, he writes about the intersection of high stakes and human folly. He lives in Las Vegas, where the kings are made of neon and usually last longer than the real ones.
