    Give this a try! It's an absolutely fantastic book that's well worth the price. The protagonist comes from a small town in Northeast China and is forced into a battle between righteous and evil sorcerers in Hong Kong. He spends thirty years in this turmoil, encountering everything from black coffins and demonic corpses to Western demon gods and powerful female demons.

It features the "Four Elders of Hung Shing Village," lay disciples of Wudang, the evil sorcerer "Xie Si," and the "Old Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain" who has traveled to Hong Kong. The plot twists and turns, and it's not a traditional story. It's definitely worth reading and won't disappoint you.
