Have any of you read "Shibumi" by Trevanian?
It is without a doubt the one book that has had the most effect on my life.
Why do I bring this up here?
Well, Don Winslow was commisioned to write a prequel to Shibumi, as Trevanian passed away some years ago. It is titled Satori.
I have just finished it. Not as good as the original author but a really good effort. It also lays itself open to another prequel to bridge the gap between Satori and Shibumi.
For those of you who are not familiar with Trevanian, he shot to fame with the well known "The Eiger Sanction"
I am trying to complete my Trevanian collection but it seems some of them have never been in print.
