Experience a new type of friendship - a new novel, with an eastern twist!

Gideon and the Crimson Samurai is a teen novel, by black British indie-author, Ricky Lee Baxter.

As we live in an age that is becoming more culturally integrated with diverse ways of life and friendships - Gideon and the Crimson Samurai is a fictional novel, made to reflect the unique kinds of relationships we have and resulting obstacles we face, together in this world.

His life changes forever, when a foul-mouthed samurai enters his life and the two embark on a grand journey of self-discovery and brotherhood. Along their journey they will meet others from different backgrounds - each sharing a misfortune, yet with a burning desire for belonging.
