4-6Five Ancestors series.
Ying, erstwhile antagonist and former "sibling" of the young kung fu–fighting monks featured in the series, takes center stage in this fifth installment. Allied with Hok for survival, he questions past decisions and beliefs. Ying's conflicting sense of honor and anger, combined with nonstop action, makes for compulsive reading, though the profusion of story lines and minimal plot progression grow frustrating.
