He will pay any price, perpetrate any deception, to save the empire. If he must, he will become evil to fight evil. He and the emperor's champion will battle each other to the death for that which they both hold dear: Rokugan. I decided to read this fantasy science fiction book The Scorpion, because of my fondness of samurai related stories. I was drawn to the cover more than anything else because of the intricate drawing of an enraged looking samurai.
If it were not for the eye popping cover I would have missed out on an awesome action packed novel. I usually don’t read books like this, but after reading the first couple chapters I was surprisingly hooked.

I usually don’t read books like this, but after reading the first couple chapters I was surprisingly hooked. I can definitely say that the storyline of this book would make a great movie.The novel takes you on a journey with the main character or protagonist Bayushi Shoju a young samurai warrior, also known as Shoju. He came into contact and fought with monsters demons and other rivals while on his way to trying saving the place he loves, Rokugan.

With members of his group, the Scorpion Clan, his chances to help save Rokugan increased.The book begins with a detailed description of an intense battle going on. The words Sullivan used to describe the battle is amazing because even though it is fictional, it was quite believable. The imagery he paints in your mind, like the current climate condition, also sets the tone for where the story is occurring. Since I’ve read books about the samurai era, it really makes me feel good that some one like Sullivan could capture moments like a battle scene to the extent that I felt like I was there in that time.There are two conflicts that are apparent throughout the story, man versus man, and man versus the supernatural. Not only is this war amongst two groups of people but Shoju also comes into contact with supernatural forces or antagonists, like demons, spirits, and monsters, which is something we could never come into contact in real life. The place in the book where all this conflict originated is called the Shadowlands.I would definitely recommend this book to a certain type of reader.
If you are into mythical, action packed stories this would be a good book for you. To me there were many good scenes from the start with mythical based battles. Sullivan did an excellent job of capturing the action scenes, making you want to keep reading.As the reader, I liked the author’s style because it was easy to follow and interesting to read. Even though it was fictional it was believable. The way it was written, it seemed to be chronicled like something happened long ago. Excellent books I’ve read in the past have created visual presentations. They are obvious, and create images in your mind.
That’s what makes books like this special. The words some authors use to describe scenes gives you that significant feeling you get after you’ve witnessed something spectacular. If you enjoy any type of Asian action or descriptive war related battles, this book would be an exceptional piece of reading. Since this is the first in the series I will probably go and search for the sequel to this book.
My starred review for this book would have to be a 5 because I couldn’t see any parts where it needed improvement. I started reading this basically because I got into the Collectible Card Game. I enjoyed the book much more than I thought I would and am excited to read the rest of the series in the near future. It was a great introduction into the culture and motives for the scorpion clan. Not only does this series give you some history into the world of the game, but each book focuses on one of the major clans and gives you that unique perspective.It was a little confusing keeping everyone straight, but tha I started reading this basically because I got into the Collectible Card Game.

Not only does this series give you some history into the world of the game, but each book focuses on one of the major clans and gives you that unique perspective.It was a little confusing keeping everyone straight, but that was partly because of the traditional Japanese names. And I must admit, the constant description of how every woman is beyond beautiful was noticeable, but that is also a part of the Japanese culture.I would highly recommend this book and series for anyone interested in the Legend of the Five Rings CCG or RPG or anyone who loves Asian mythology and culture in general. Legend of the Five Rings is a samurai fantasy that arose in the mid-'90s as the shared setting for a collectible card game and roleplaying game. Though familiar with the property itself, I had only vague knowledge of the events upon which the setting's story, an ongoing saga, opened. So I was eager to read this, the first in a series of novels that consolidate the events of this 'Clan War,' which kick off the rest of the story that I know so well.One thing that has always intrigued me about Lege Legend of the Five Rings is a samurai fantasy that arose in the mid-'90s as the shared setting for a collectible card game and roleplaying game.

So I was eager to read this, the first in a series of novels that consolidate the events of this 'Clan War,' which kick off the rest of the story that I know so well.One thing that has always intrigued me about Legend of the Five Rings, or L5R as it is commonly abbreviated, is how many traits it shares in common with A Song of Ice and Fire, a series which started around the same time, and nowhere are the parallels between the two settings more evident than within these pages. That said, Stephen D. Sullivan's writing is of a much swifter pacing than George R.R.
Martin's, but whereas the latter writer's chapters each take place solely inside a single character's head, Sullivan has a tendency to jump from one character's thoughts to another frequently within each scene. This was not to my liking at first, but I quickly forgave it as the story drew me in. It is at times necessary to convey multiple characters' thoughts this way, so as not to bog down the flow of the story. Another issue I found, which is less a fault of the author as the early handling of the IP itself, was the awkward pseudo-Japanese constructions that appeared occasionally, particularly in the names of cities. This may annoy readers familiar with the Japanese language, but again, I got past it in favor of the narrative.Together these issues forced me to drop 'The Scorpion' from a 4-star to a 3-star rating, and they remain my only quibble with the book.
All in all it is a clever read, one which captures the spirit of samurai fiction in a way that gives equal nods to Akira Kurosawa's film career, to the above-mentioned A Song of Ice and Fire (though I am not aware of any conscious imitation on either contemporary's part), and to Japanese animation, which is the source of much of my understanding of the folklore on which the higher fantasy elements of the L5R setting are based. Any fan of these inspirations will surely find something to love in 'The Scorpion.' This was more enjoyable than it deserved.
Technically, it was poorly written. It abuses third person omniscient with a vengeance. Characters navel gaze like there's no tomorrow and smile all the time. Every thought, every memory makes these characters smile again and again.
This is a dark, samurai fantasy, why is there so much smiling? Sigh.Take that away and within this book is an enjoyable story, though it doesn't start being interesting until halfway through. I used to play Legen This was more enjoyable than it deserved. Technically, it was poorly written.

Sigh.Take that away and within this book is an enjoyable story, though it doesn't start being interesting until halfway through. I used to play Legend of the Five Rings, and it was a lot of fun. I loved the setting and the clans, and this was a great way to change my negative perception of the Scorpion clan. While they're still the 'villains', I suppose, they have their own sense of owner and loyalty that I understand much better. The coup in the middle is handled well and has a great sense of movement thereafter. Holding the fortress proves to be no easy matter and the end results is expected though sad.
I just wish the rest of this book had the same power.sigh. I liked this book, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The writing is not the purplest I've ever seen, but it's definitely in the direction of someone writing out descriptions for an RPG session.My favorite parts were the ones where Bayushi Kachiko, the Mother of Scorpions, was plotting and executing those plots.

From the back:'Take up the twin swords of a fierce bushi, command the mystical powers a shugenja, or brave the tangled political webs of a courtier. The Emerald Empire is a land of conflict, danger and intrigue. Face the horrors of the malevolent Shadowlands or dare the endless internal conflicts that threaten each day to tear a fragile empire apart.
This is a land where the skilled and daring win glory greater than they could ever dream. A land where honor is a force stronger than steel.' The game contains:- A quick and easy rule set.
