It was the first fictional treatment of a major international concern of the Eighties. Set in locales as diverse as Wall Street and the offices of Japan's powerful Trade Ministry, THE SAMURAI STRATEGY describes a scenario of murder, worldwide currency manipulation, a revival of Japan's smoldering nationalism, and is set against a background of a new high-tech computer milieu. Matthew Walton, a freelance corporate'takeover' lawyer is hired by a mysterious Japanese industrialist to purchase a New York office building and begin a massive'hedging' in the financial markets. Two weeks later, off an island in the Inland Sea, divers working for the industrialist's organization, recover the original Imperial Sword, given to Japan's first Emperor by the Sun Goddess, Japan's 'Excalibur', and lost in a sea battle in 1185. He forms an '800-Year Fund' and billions of yen flow to his fingertips. He then dumps all the Treasuries Japan had acquired and devastates the American economy.  \nAs the story rushes to its stunning conclusion, Matt Walton goes to Japan and determines that the 'Imperial Sword' is, in fact an unusual antique he once owned himself.  \nBOOKS BY THOMAS HOOVER  \nNonfiction  \nZen Culture  \nThe Zen Experience  \nFiction  \nThe Moghul Caribbee  \nWall Street Samurai (The Samurai Strategy)  \nProject Daedalus Project Cyclops Life Blood Syndrome  \nAll free as e-books at  \n[www.thomashoover.info](www.thomashoover.info)  \nWall Street Samurai  \n(The Samurai Strategy)  \nThomas Hoover  \n[www.thomashoover.info](www.thomashoover.info)  \nTHE SAMURAI STRATEGY A Bantam Falcon Book / June 1988 All rights reserved.

Sheets of icy rain washed the pavement, heralding the onslaught of autumn and the miserable winter to come. The city was poised for its cruelest months, that twilight of the spirit when strangers arm-wrestle for taxis, nobody has time to hold a door, and you cherish every fleeting human kindness.  \nBring on the blizzards, the holiday madness. This winter I was planning something long overdue. To treat my daughter Amy, the Madame Curie of her ninth grade, to a real vacation. Just us. We'd leave at Thanksgiving and stay gone through the Christmas break. She got to live with me three months a year, and December was by God going to be one of the months. School?
