Modern ninjas remain as flawless and ruthless killers as they were hundreds of years ago, and their art, as before, still finds use. Whether it’s a deadly intrigue around the Japanese-American nuclear program ("Ninjas: Special Assignment") or a standoff between the biggest computer corporations ("The Old Man in the Black Kimono")—everywhere, as the final argument of force, these invisible and inaudible, almost mystical people can be used. And you can be sure—neither their victim nor the police have the slightest chance.
