As good as it was when I first read it. White Ninja is the third of the first trilogy of the Nicholas Linnear novels. I read them decades ago and even though they're a little dated the drama and tension and adventure is still there. After White Ninja, I stopped reading the Linear novels because my time was extremely limited. However, now I can go back to the subsequent novels and get lost in those as well.

Nicholas Linnear is enjoying life in Japan with his wife Justine. He has surgery to remove a tumor in his brain. Once he wakes up from the surgery, he discovers that all of his ninja training and expertise has been lost to him. This makes him shiro ninja (white ninja) and he has no idea how to recover. Then he discovers that there's a new enemy trying to not only destroy him but destroy all his business interest and friends. He must find a way to overcome his lost ability and defeat his powerful foe.

This is a very well written story with many diverse characters and plot lines. This is a really enjoyable series (even though it sometimes shows it age). Recommend White Ninja to all fans of Lustbader and mystery/thriller stories in general.
