Ring of Fire Chris Bradford, 318 pages.
Seeking shelter from a snowstorm Jack is recruited by a village in need of protection a gang of bandits. Persuaded to stay and fight Jack must find some way to enlist other
warriors to the villagers' aid before the bandits return which proves to be no easy task when the villagers have little to offer for help, and Jack the price on Jack's head grows higher.
I felt like this book didn't have as much to offer the series as some of the others, there was no major strides towards Jack making it to Nagasaki, and the plot was essentially the same as The Seven Samurai. Other than that though it was just as well written as the previous books, and I did enjoy certain characters making reappearances.
