Al Katana III

Al Katana is an international pariah with disciples and imitators throughout the world. Using martial arts studios as his cover to develop assassins, he must maintain legitimacy for his studios while continuing to perform illegal enforcement against malefactors. Ritchie Walgreen, believing in absolute equality of the sexes in the martial arts, has planted martial arts studios in Africa which purport to foster the best martial arts training in the world. Al Katana's brilliant plan to challenge all martial artists to games that will prove (or disprove) his assertion pit the vigilante's studios against primarily the Japanese, who presume they are the world's finest fighters. Al Katana racks up new and old enemies, including his nemesis, the Deputy Director of the US Central Intelligence Agency. He also reinforces his alliance with his sometime patrons, the Emperor and Empress of Japan. His contacts often help him, but in the end, he will stand alone against all opposition, forced to prove once and for all he is the invincible protagonist the world has been looking for or die trying.
