Book excerpt: Amid the carnage of a brutal civil war in May of 1968, a Biafran Red Cross doctor and his pregnant Swiss wife are separated while attempting to board the last ship to leave Port Harcourt, Biafra, before Nigerian troops arrive. In Sendai, Japan, in March of 2011, a Japanese businessman is trapped in his earthquake damaged boardroom. As tsunami sirens blare, his final thoughts focus on his family and a hidden son living half a world away. These two incidents, so far removed from each other, are brought together when a digital camera of dubious provenance is bought in a Vancouver pawnshop by a mining executive. It is January of 2013 when Darren Westover, still devastated over his wife's sudden death four years earlier, unwittingly buys the stolen camera. He takes a few sample photos and then plugs the camera into his computer to view the pictures. Once he realizes there are images on the memory card that are not his own, Westover starts a search for the camera's rightful owner, unaware that he will soon find himself on a perilous, trans-Pacific journey that brings events from war-torn Biafra and tsunami-ravaged Japan to a climax on the dark, wet streets of Coal Harbour, Vancouver. The Samurai's Son is the intriguing tale of one man's quest for answers as he attempts to piece together a complex puzzle that leads him not only to the truth, but also to a new beginning.
