I read a 2-book series many years ago and I have been wanting to reread them, but I can't remember the author or the exact title. "Swordmaster ..." something I was wondering if anyone out there has read them and knows the author and correct titles.

The series is about a young man, back in feudal Japan, who was born in the upper class. He ends up in poverty, working for a blacksmith, learns Kenjitsu from a swordmaster as an apprentice, yada, yada, yada ... ends up glorious in battle ... That's about all I can remember.

It is kind of a mix between Shogun and Star Wars; has a bit of a Luke Vs. Vader thing going on.

Anybody ...???

I would realy like to find these and read again. Very good story.

Anyone read these? They are awesome if you like reading fiction of feudal Japan.

Have you read the book on Miyomoto Musashi? That is a prettly long book but a good one. It has been about 8 years since I have read it so my details on it are a little rough. Check it out.
