Tokyo Suckerpunch : A Billy Chaka Adventure

Product Description

Meet Billy Chaka, ace reporter for Cleveland's hottest-selling Asian teen magazine.  He's brash, savvy, and prone to hair-trigger fits of karate.  Billy's in Tokyo to cover the 19-and-Under Handicapped Martial Arts Championship and meet up with his friend Sato Migusion, the international renowned director of such cult film classics as Sex Up the Hotrod, Baby! But Sato never shows. Instead, the girl of Billy's dreams stumbles into a dive bar with tatooed Yakuza mobsters in hot pursuit.  Then Billy will start brawls in swanky corporate sex clubs, be offered a golf club membership by a secret religious order, meet a dog trained in the ways of the Samurai, and race stolen motorcycles through the neon-choked streets of Tokyo. Packed with enough over-the-top fists action to make Jackie Chan cry, and featuring the most lovable uncool hero since Austin Powers, this hilarious send-up is a pop culture potpourri of sub-epic proportion.

    An outstanding debut for Adamson! This book is an instant hit - a flowing read of Chaka's adventures in Japan. Just as you think you've got Billy and the story pinned down Adamson masterfully keeps you, and the plot twisted. Enjoy the ride.

    New author with much promise. A new plot that invovles a part of the world that is not often written about in American literature. Get settings, well driven characters. Those who enjoy how reading can provoke your imagination, buy this book!

    I love these books (also get the next book, Hokkaido Popsicle.) They are a much needed break from the two dominating trends in writing, heavy meandering literature and last-page twist detective books. Billy Chaka rules. I don't want to give anything anway....but COME ON! The guys works for a mag called Youth In Asia. Nuff said. Hat's off to the cover designer...they got the attitude right.
