YAMAMOTO HAMZA There are warriors who fight for their honor. There are warriors who fight out of duty. And then there is Yamamoto Hamza. He is Japan's laziest mercenary. He prefers drinking cold tea, sleeps until noon, and hates orders. But as soon as he draws his katana, he turns battlefields into a bloody parade—and himself into a celebrated rock star of death. Because above all else, Hamza has one thing: an immense joy in crushing. A brutal samurai epic. Unrelenting, darkly humorous, and full of blades that sing. For everyone who loves heroes with a smile on their face and blood on their hands. By Jonas A. Harde, the author of the ALTE ERDE, ECHO, and LAVAL series, as well as The Legend of Étienne de Saint-Clair and The Thief of the Century.
