Book Description
Former special forces soldier and now elite Scout bounty hunter Daniel Legend is leaving the mean streets of Los Angeles for the meaner streets of Shinjuku. In the real world, Tokyo’s most cosmopolitan ward: center of metropolitan power, crossroads of traffic, den of vice. But in Shinjuku, Daniel Legend, in search of his missing sister Angela, discovers the unreal city: Shinjuku, the nexus of realities, riddled with underground pathways. In this realm where lowlife crooks and subterranean monsters spill blood alike in the shadows, three rival yakuza leaders hold control over every earthly crime in a tense triad of greed. Yet for one mobster lord, Shi, no amount of worldly gain is enough to satisfy him—and he plans an unholy scheme to seize control over all existence that merges mystcism with the visionary quantum research that was the legacy of Daniel and Angela’s father! Film and video director Christopher “mink” Morrison, veteran of Quentin Tarantino and Lawrence Bender’s A Band Apart, is the author of Shinjuku, a story whose urban mix of action and horror is illustrated with raw, propulsive energy by world-famous illustrator Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D).

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Unemployed, broke and engaged in a telepathic turf war with a feral cat behind an Okinawa convenience store, 28-year-old Fred Buchanan is hopelessly lost in life. After a fortuitous bet on the island bullfights, he boards a ferry to Kobe then a slow train to Tokyo, chasing shadows of a halogen dream. Back in Tokyo, past and present collide as an empty orchestra croons a slow dance of people and place, memory and madness, loss and love. Charging through Tokyo's neon jungle, enveloped in a boozy, nicotine-stained haze, Fred is determined to be an agent of his destiny and not another ball bearing bouncing through the cosmic pachinko. Perhaps Fred's contentment, his rainy day ramen, lies in the warm embrace of Yukie, with strips of delicious thigh and mysterious powers imbued in the etched eye on her fingernail. If only he can exit her stop and resist the self-destructive inclination to journey to the end of the line to confront the truths or lies which lay there. Rainy Day Ramen and the Cosmic Pachinko is told in two distinct overlapping and interwoven formats. Join Fred's drunken, staggering, metaphysical odyssey from Okinawa to Tokyo, and his search for meaning beyond the physical path trodden. The novel blends Murakami-esque magical realism with a coming-of-age on-the-road story.
