The novel is set in a time extending from the late 15th through the 16th century in Japan, when a weak central government was largely relegated to the sidelines while numerous warlords vied with one another to unify the country under their own leadership. The story centers on the Murakami Clan?commonly known as the Murakami Pirates?which effectively ruled the waters of the Seto Inland Sea, the principal transportation and shipping artery of western Japan.
Spectacular battles unfold in great detail on both land and sea. An endless parade of colorful warriors, a panoply of unconventional tactics (such as the weaponization of fireworks), and more offer readers the full excitement of battle in an era when wars were fought in close, hand-to-hand combat.
