Bob Lee Swagger has seen enough of war and fighting for any man: his past as a Marine Corps sniper and later as a self-appointed avenger has been a bloody one. But the hope that he is finished with combat are dashed with a visit from Colonel Philip Yano.
Yano has come to America to find a samurai sword that Bob's father took from Yano's dying father in the desperate battle for Iwo Jima in 1945. Yano believes the sword to be a national treasure of huge political significance to whoever can get hold of it. Bob agrees to help and delivers the sword to Yano in Tokyo but soon afterwards the Yano family are murdered their house burned to the ground and the sword stolen. Dark forces are at work. With the aid of Yano's old comrades Bob enters not only Tokyo's criminal underbelly but also the violent obsessive world of the Samurai. Once more he is on a mission of vengeance.
