Author Darrell Max Craig’s New Book "Ninjas, Spies, and Samurais" is a Historical Fiction That Follows the Koga Ninja Family’s Role in Japan During the Meiji Restoration

Cypress, TX, July 22, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Darrell Max Craig, a veteran of the US Marine Corps who was stationed in Japan and operated a traditional Japanese martial arts school in Texas for forty-nine years, has completed his new book, “Ninjas, Spies, and Samurais”: a stirring tale that follows a ninja clan’s assignment to put a stop to the Korean government’s attempts to take over Japan.

Among other ranks, author Darrell Max Craig holds seventh dan in kendo. He was a member of Team USA in 1985 at the 6th World Kendo Championships in Paris, France. In 1979, he was bestowed the title of Hatamoto by an old samurai family. The author is now retired and spends his time writing as he reflects on his adventures and experiences.

“This fiction novel leads the reader back to Japan during the Meiji Restoration (1868–1911),” writes Craig. “It showcases adventure, love, crime, and murder. The Japanese Special Operations hired the Koga ninja family to help them bring into existence their new Central Intelligence Agency program against the Korean government, which is trying to overtake their country. These legendary warriors or cult of assassins and spies only lead to numerous twists and turns in their assignment with the new Meiji government.”
