The Sword of Yasuke
(2026)(The seventh book in the Acquirers Archaeological Thrillers series)
A novel by Desmond G Palmer
History remembers Yasuke as a curiosity — an African warrior at the court of Oda Nobunaga, Japan's most powerful warlord. It forgot that he was also the last guardian of something far older than the samurai who trained him.
When ex-SAS operative Lucas Redmond travels to Japan with archaeologist Natasha Travers and intelligence operative Ellen Paige, he expects to find an artefact. What he finds instead is a bloodline — his own — and a four-hundred-year-old sword that has been waiting for him specifically.
Aurora Holdings has been hunting the same blade. Their black-ops team is already in Japan, and they don't just want the sword. They want what it unlocks — an ancient power source that could reshape the balance of the world.
From the underground fighting pits of Osaka to the sacred shrines of Kanazawa and the volcanic heart of Aogashima, Lucas must choose between the man he's been trying to become and the weapon he was born to be.
The sword doesn't care about redemption. It only cares about the blood.
The Sword of Yasuke is the seventh book in Desmond G. Palmer's Acquirers series and the opening chapter of the Sword Trilogy. Perfect for fans of James Rollins, Matthew Reilly and Steve Berry.
Genre: Thriller
