The final book in the series, with jack back in England, searching for his sister Jess, is quite event-filled and fast-paced. A bit too event-filled, perhaps. For a time it seems every person they meet in England is trying to rob them or kill them. Add some assassin ninjas, who have also come from Japan, and Jess' mysterious disappearance, and you have all the ingredients.

Some reviewers complain that Jack's martial arts training as a samurai and as a ninja seem to be for nothing. To a certain extent, they have a point. He seems to be defeated and captured an awful lot. However, the story held my attention and kept me entertained. The mystery of Jess' whereabouts was always interesting.

All in all, a good finish to this epic story. ( )
