#1 Amazon bestselling author Jim Mather's thrilling second novel. It is 1968. The Age of Aquarius. Free-love, drugs, and wild living. The yakuza bounty on his head forces Jonathan Lusk to flee Japan and return to the US for the first time since he left soon after the deaths of his parents when he was a child. Following in his father's and grandfather's footsteps, he enrolls at Stanford University. But he is far from a typical Stanford student. Jonathan Lusk has many secrets - his obligation to find and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorist who murdered his father; his membership in Japan's most elite security service, and his biggest secret of all, his budding love affair with the beautiful but forbidden Japanese princess, Nanami Yoritomo, who has vowed to join him at Stanford. Will she go against her imperial family's violent opposition to her being with a gaijin, a non-Japanese? Will the weight of his obligation to avenge his father's death cause him to forsake the young princess and turn his full attention to finding his father's murderer? And if he dares to take that path, can he possibly survive going face-to-face with one of the world's most deadly men?
