Shogun meets Fallout in this epic post-apocalyptic adventure from NYT bestselling author Nicholas Sansbury Smith.
The World ended. The Samurai survived.
Two hundred and fifty-four years after nuclear war, three thousand survivors live in the Fugaku caves beneath Mount Fuji. Above them, the last Ashikaga samurai guard a fortress built around a nuclear reactor, the only source of power keeping the settlement alive.
Morio Sato is twenty-three, a ronin scout who has spent five years moving through the shadows of the surface, watching for threats. When he witnesses a pack of Oni fleeing the radioactive craters where they nest, he knows something has driven them out. He barely survives the encounter and returns home to worse news—a dying samurai from one of the coastal relay stations brings a warning the elders have feared for generations: Aka no oni ga kuru. The Red Demons are coming.
With no way to call for help, the council sends ronin up the mountain to reach Lord Ashikaga. None return. Now Morio is chosen to go with the only warrior who might get him there alive, Kiro Oshiro. The deadliest blade in the settlement and a man with nothing left to lose. But even Kiro has never faced an enemy like the Red Demons, and they aren’t the only threat rising.
Beyond Mount Fuji… beyond the sea… an ancient threat is stirring in the dark. And Morio is about to learn the world he’s spent his life defending is far larger, and far more deadly, than he ever imagined.
Post-apocalyptic samurai battle a rogue military AI in the radioactive ruins of Japan in this standalone science fiction thrill ride set in the Hell Divers universe.
Genre: Science Fiction
