Jack Fletcher faces his toughest challenge yet. After a snowstorm forces
him to take shelter, Jack comes across a village in need of protection
from raiding mountain bandits. Torn between moving on or helping, Jack
is persuaded to stay and fight the villagers' cause. But Jack is the
first and only samurai to do so. Now he must enlist other warriors to
the villagers' aid before the bandits return to steal their harvest. No
easy task when the reward is so little and he is a foreigner. If only he
had his friends to call on. . . Using the Ring of Fire, can Jack
overpower the bandits and win?
