内容简介

Fiction/novel/adventure. Dr. Eric Mallow, a serious gun collector, complicates his life by acquiring a pair of Japanese swords at a gun show. He has no idea one of the swords was the personal weapon of a 14th century patriot, or that the other carries a blood-thirsty reputation as the "Son Killer." Various attempts to get them back complicate his life. He knows nothing about why they were confiscated by a group of GIs after WW2. He doesn't realize that a Japanese politician wants the swords to cement his control over one of Japan's relgious cults. And he never understands that the leader of a Tokyo crime syndicate, considers the swords his rightful property. "National Treasure" treats 600 years of history and societies that are worlds apart with accuracy and cultural detail.
