Why read it?
1 author picked The Mystic Arts of the Ninja as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Every good book requires research, and in the case of my book, I feel that the best source for information concerning the legendary Ninja of Japan, and their shadowy Art, comes to us by way of Stephen K.

The Mystic Arts of the Ninja not only showcases the weapons and the martial arts of the Ninja (which was vital in building my character, Ms. Adelaide DeMarcy) but provides a valuable insight into their mystical practices.
From Martin's list on spy/detectives with strong female characters.
