Críticas:

"A gem amidst the gravel bed of thrillers that claim to feature martial arts..." -- James Grady, author of Six Days of the Condor and Mad Dogs "Donohue has truly raised the bar with Tengu, the third installment of his Connor Burke series. This action packed thriller depicts a gritty realism. Once you start reading, it's hard to put down. Highly recommended!" -- Lawrence A. Kane, author of Surviving Armed Assaults Donohue hits poignantly and true on something that most martial artists will never feel: the deep emotional shifts as a student's relationship with a sensei changes to something deeper. A well crafted martial arts thriller, which is something of a rarity. -- Sgt. Rory Miller

A renegade martial arts Sensei known as the Tengu has been recruited to train a splinter group of Asian terrorists with links to Al Qaeda. The Tengu mourns the vanished prestige and cultural heritage of Imperial Japan. He, like the men he trains, believes the West is responsible for destroying the spiritual essence of a once-great culture. In a series of violent clashes spawned by the bizarre intersection of contemporary fundamentalist terrorist ideology and the personal vendettas of the Tengu, Connor Burke and his martial arts teacher Yamashita are pawns in a game that will ensnare them while they search for the most deadly of foes: the Tengu.
