When Trouble Comes
(eBook)

Kenyon, adopted son of a Yakuza crime lord, is sleepily daydreaming about his high school crush and struggling to stay awake in Precalculus class. In a flash, he is suddenly transported to a creepy underground laboratory, bound to a chair surrounded by armed guards and being interrogated by a diabolical captor. Halfway around the world, Kai, trained assassin and super-soldier, is on the verge of completing his first mission. But on his way to his extraction point, he too is unexpectedly thrust into a brand-new world: a speeding car on a Los Angeles highway with an angry gangster pointing a loaded gun at his forehead. Reeling from his mysterious experiences, Kenyon embarks on a propulsive adventure to discover the true meaning of his strange visions. Along the way, he and his allies - his seven-foot-tall martial arts teacher, wisecracking Yakuza cousin, and fearsome Muay Thai sparring partner - will be tested by foes from inside and outside this world. To survive their harrowing encounters with rival gang members, magical demons and each other, both Kenyon and Kai will need to do more than master their supernatural ability to control fire. They will need to harness the true power of family and friendship.
