Story was set just after the Japanese Occupation. Mao Dong Po was just a small child when he witness the murder of his father by an overzealous British Officer who was determine to root out all communist and those who help the communist.
He was determined t seek revenge but even at his young age he knew enough that he had to learn more before he to execute his plans.
As fate has it, they were moved to a new village and subsequently his mother was force by situation to move again to stay with her brother who was a shop owner in Padang Besar. It is at the border to Thailand.
There he come across a Siamese man who subsequently become his "Sifu"(Teacher). The chosen profession? ....Assassin.
If this does not makes you sit up then...I have nothing else to say.
A very exciting book to read. It incorporated some of characters from his previous books. Don't worry. This will not hinder the story flow of this book. To me this is another MUST READ type of book and I love this genre of book very much.
Wah Assassin! Sounds very interesting. I guess it's a page turner for you? :)
