White Wind, Black Rider

In WHITE WIND, BLACK RIDER, Luke Rhinehart has written the most
dramatic of his books, the gripping story of three samurai entangled by their
love for the beautiful and rebellious Matari. Oboko is a poet and Zen seeker; Izzi,
a lusty court writer; and Lord Arishi, a powerful Lord whose honor demands
vengeance. With constant threat lurking, the four take part in a relentless chase,
driving the novel to its dramatic and stunning finish.

"Luke Rhinehart won almost universal acclaim for his first novel, THE DICE
MAN. WHITE WIND, BLACK RIDER explores the same themes of fate and
chance. Apart from its philosophical virtues, (it) is a powerful, exciting yarn ..."

written as a child's poem."
