This is an action packed story with lots of characters to keep track of but you really get the chance to know these characters as the author spends a good deal of time time sharing their backgrounds and where they come from and how they fit into the story. The author has a unique way of taking current events and mixing in fantasy into a very believable and detailed tale. You learn that the author has a deep respect for Japanese culture and is very interested in Karate as it comes up a lot in the story as the characters advance in their quest to take out the evil that is attempting to destroy the world. I fell that the author does a fantastic job of achieving his goal of sharing Autism with the readers of this story, their a not only a great adventure to be found in this tale but some very much needed life lessons as well.
