Mamoru Saito was well suited for life as a samurai of Matsushita Electronics Corporation, except for one thing his conscience. In 2418, Japan has reinvented itself as an anachronism of feudalism and high technology. Corporations govern entire prefectures, each ruled by a CEO wielding the authority of a warlord. Mamoru's supernatural ability to embody machines and change software at a thought makes him a coveted weapon in an endless cyberspace war. Ever with the sense he does not belong, he serves without question until an outsider wrests him from his master's grip, forcing him to flee Japan. Now a ronin, his sense of honor compels him to exact revenge upon the person responsible for his disgrace. His search reunites him with his past and brings acceptance that he is one of a handful of rare, potent psionics who call themselves The Awakened. Caught between two factions vying to control him, Mamoru realizes that family is all he truly wanted, but his epiphany may have come too late."

Grey Ronin Matthew S Cox 9781620076217 Books Reviews
I think the problems I have with this series is they are all different. Its not a continuation but others stories and in different places and times. It can be hard for the reader to wrap our heads around it. I dont think these series of books are part of a series although they are. Author is a talented writer and I enjoy his stories. This series has thrown me for a loop I admit. I got confused sometimes and there are times things moved too slow for me. When I started this book I was completely confused! It took some time for me to unravel that. I dont think myself as unintelligent but this book made me feel like I was a little dumb ha. His books have always been complex but I've always been able to follow for the most part but this one was the exception. If your into the Japanese comics you'll probably understand this better than most. It was a miss for me unfortunately.
This series must be read in order. The first book is Prophet Of The Badlands. The second book is Archon's Queen. This is the third book. I can't wait to read Daughter Of Ash!
Mamoru was raised to believe in the Shinto religion and ancient practices of Japan including a Samurai's duty to his Shogun. He knows little truth of his past and feels his parents died because they were too weak which makes it just. His chi allows him to perform superhuman feats as well as become one with machines. This makes him very valuable and well respected until the unthinkable happens. After being approached by Oni (at least that is his only comprehension of the being) to defect to the UFC, someone steals his honor and turns his Shogun against him. Fleeing for his life, and under the auspices of getting to the bottom of the mystery, he flees to Mars to get revenge and restore his honor. Will he ever find out who has destroyed everything he stands for? Can he become a Samurai again? Or will he forever be Ronin? Why would someone do this despicable thing? Can he trust anyone? Or will his quest to restore his honor only end in death?
***This series is suitable for adult readers who enjoy futuristic sci-fi action adventure set in a post postapocalyptic dystopian world filled with superstitions and prejudices where paranormal elements fight with elements of the government and society over the fate of anyone with paranormal powers )
Gray Ronin by Matthew S. Cox
First I want to say that I got this book for free, to review by the Author. It's the first book of his that I have ever read. This is also the third book in the series, but can be read as a standalone book as I have done.
Synopsis
What would have happened if Japan's feudal era never stopped?
Japan's feudal era took place from 1185 to 1600 but was most prominent from 1400-1600 AD. It's also called the warring states era. In this book the era never stopped, but became the future of Japan. Here the Shoguns are presidents of major corporations and have divided Japan into sections under their control. They use Samurais and Ninjas to defend and spy on each other and are constantly fighting, spying and stealing. In this book you follow Mamoru who is a samurai for the Tokyo Shogun. Things happen in his world of order, that makes him reconsider his view on life and his purpose in it. He is a new type of samurai, who fights with technology as much as with a sword. Like Neo in the Matrix he has to decide if he wants to go back to the life he knows or step into the unknown and fight.
The book start out at full speed with an elaborate virtual battle scene. You watch as a samurai assassin (Mamoru) fights in a match where the real and the virtual blend in a dance to the death. After he finishes the assassination, one of his supervisors shows up at his house and the following scene takes place
Quote chapter three
"The way she looked at him made him uncomfortable, as if he were a bit of sashimi she debated consuming. No one else in the service of Matsushita could equal him, inside or outside the GlobeNet. A serious frown curled his lip. This woman would have him as a personal guard, wiling away each day inside an office attending to her every need. He thought of Nami and Ayame, of the blinking red light, and adjusted the collar of his haori jacket."
Conclusion
One of the things that has stood out to me are all the many details in dialogue and descriptions. It's a book to read slowly over time, so you are able to take in all the details. It's a clever marriage of Science fiction and suspense. It made me want to read the previous books in the series.
Anime lovers of Ghost in the shell and Psycho Pass will love this book, since the worlds are very similar.
Though the book has some mature content I would still recommend it for young adults who will love the action, world and movie like writing style.
I must say that when I started reading this book I was just a little baffled . But then it started to make sense to me . What would you do if the empirical age in Japan just kept going on and on .

It took me a few chapters but when I finally figured out what was going on the story took off and I couldn't put it down . The characters grew on me and I wanted to see Mamoru and Caiden succeed in getting to where they are suppose to be . The characters are well written and very complex .
