WIth access to every computer in post-World War III's fully-automated society, he had the potential to become the ultimate spy, the perfect assassin, an invincible dictator. Only loyalty to samurai virtues kept his attention in check - until the day when Elizabeth was taken away from him, and Tokugawa began his quest for revenge...
