The Swords of Silence the by Shaun Curry
17th century Japan. An era of tension and unrest. Under the rule of the Shogun, the country is becoming increasingly intolerant of foreigners mostly European traders and church missionaries. In the face of growing persecution, one man a Jesuit priest must face his own fears and find a way to lead his followers to safety
Fascinated by Japan from an early age, Shaun Curry went on to study and work in Tokyo, where he developed a passion for the country, its culture and history.
An avid collector of rare books, maps and artefacts, he has spent more than ten years researching in the Papal Archives in Rome, the British Library in London, and the New York Public library, amassing the wealth of knowledge that enriches his writing in the Swords of Fire trilogy.
His expertise in feudal Japanese history has informed not only his fiction, but also numerous articles, and has led him to be featured as a guest on BBC radio. He is also a prolific speaker on the subject of Christianity in Japan.
A British and Canadian national, he now lives and writes in London.
