Toru: Wayfarer Returns

A Japan that might have been...revolutionary samurai take on the West in this alternate history set in 1850s Japan. "A satisfying blend of serious historical speculation, military action, suspense, and romance that at times also evokes the mood of a Miyazaki film." -- US Review of Books "Cool alternative-history yarn of yester-century Nippon, a promising steampunk-energized start." -- Kirkus Reviews
