The Long Game

Kill the Emperor. That was the order.

Sent to execute Hirohito, an American assassin breaks his vows. Instead of pulling the trigger, he becomes the Emperor’s protector.

Inside the Imperial Palace, the assassin wages a secret war to destroy Japan's fascist leadership. By systematically purging the high command, he begins shaping the Imperial Japanese military in an ideological manner, transforming its core doctrine from within.

But cleansing Tokyo is only the first step. With the fascist leaders completely destroyed and the Imperial forces successfully restructured under a new ideology, this reformed military machine turns its sights toward Europe. The ultimate alliance is forged, and a reshaped Japan launches a devastating attack against the Nazi war machine.
