"I was impressed with his attention to details and the main character development.

I could feel that Brandons experiences traveling around Japan, interviewing masters of craft - the Shokunin -really led his writing.

The narrative flowed smoothly, the characters introduced along the way were interesting and quirky, and the emotional and physical intensity ratcheted up as the story developed. Overall a great read.

Looking forward to further books in this series."

--⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Joel V.L.

"As a reader we are pushed from pillar to post, from the here and now, to post apocalyptic survivalism, to futuristic science fiction, to prehistoric times, and then back again in an eclectic mix of genres which left me exhausted, yet strangely spiritually calm; it’s like the works of Confucius told by Tarantino."

--⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dohai

"Chin’s The Nanking Revolution is a beautifully woven tale that lifts the edges of the decorative carpet of a motley humanity, to expose the ugliness and crudity that lurks below the surface of our collective skins.

It’s a history set in a particular time, but one that still echoes through all time, affecting all who identify as human, forcing us to grapple with the very definitions of this humanness we seek or claim to embrace.

It’s a story of the other, facing the other, in the mirror; otherness is only a mere reflection of who the subject claims (or not) to be."

--⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scottie

As she grapples with her own insecurities and the weight of her African and Japanese heritage, will she rise to the occasion or crumble under the pressure?

Living a marginalized life as a trans-woman in a conservative society, Hino's world shatters when her high-profile husband becomes the victim of a violent hate crime. Fueled by grief, she embarks on a vengeful crusade that is as sensual as it is deadly.

Enter Detective Wa Otsuka, a level-headed investigator with Fukuoka's Police Department.

Can Mansa release the technology to the masses before it's too late?

Meet Mansa, an African-Japanese innovator in art and alternative investing, relishing the serenity and traditions of rural Japan. He dreams of building a dome house on a plot of land, embracing the Japanese way of life. But when his favorite musician, Uncommon, allegedly commits suicide, Mansa's idyllic life is shattered. He finds himself plunged into an international conspiracy that threatens not just him, but the global African diaspora.

As he delves deeper, Mansa discovers that a greedy billionaire mogul is behind the music and the suppression of a groundbreaking technology. With his community in peril, Mansa enlists the help of his friends in Japanese politics and the hacking world. But as he navigates the complexities of being a foreigner in Japan, he realizes the fight is coming to his doorstep, a fight he's not prepared for.
