Sensei: A Connor Burke Martial Arts Thriller Book 1 - Action-Packed Martial Arts Novel for Adults | Perfect for Martial Arts Enthusiasts & Thriller Fans

One of my many lifetime passions has been the martial arts. I have read and reviewed numerous books and martial arts products over the years. I recently discovered a new series (for me anyway) of martial art action novels by John Donohue. The first book I read of his was Tengu: the mountain goblin, which I loved.This is the second book (Sensei by John Donohue) I have read by this author and I also loved this one. As a lifetime student and instructor of numerous martial arts (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate-Do, Kendo, Kenjutsu, Wakizashi-Jutsu and Tanto-Jutsu) I related to the dialogue referring to many Japanese martial art systems.This novel is about an assassin who seems to be killing only well-respected and well known martial art masters. The main characters in this suspenseful story include Connor Burke, who is a serious martial artist who trains under Master Yamashita and his brother, Micky Burke who is a New York City Detective. This mystery assassin leaves a message saying “Ronin.” Ronin were master less Samurai because they did not belong to any Lord or Shogun and had to wander around seeking jobs such as assassin.I never like to give away too much information when reviewing a novel because it spoils it for those who might want to read the book. If you are into well-written suspenseful and action packed martial art novels, this book is for you.This book was so good that I intend to read all the books in this series by John Donohue, when they can be purchased for a bargain price on Amazon.Rating: 5 Stars.
