Are you ready to take the first step on the one true path to becoming a ninja?
The deadly wisdom contained in Ask a Ninja Presents… The Ninja Handbook: This Book Looks Forward to Killing You Soon is quite likely to lead to your untimely demise if properly followed, and the manual’s numerous “killer” illustrations are not for the faint of heart and/or humourless, so, as the back cover advises, “carefully consider the joy of your soft-headed ignorance before you begin to run, flip, and jump along the Ninja Path.”
“After much debate and in a spirit of morbid amusement, the International Order of Ninjas has chosen to produce The Ninja Handbook, the first-ever secret ninja training guide specifically designed for the non-ninja,” as transcribed by Douglas Sarine and Kent Nichols, the award-winning creators of the online series Ask A Ninja. “Most non-ninjas who handle these delicate, deadly pages will die — probably in an elaborately horrific and painful manner,” a prediction that most likely applies to the audiobook as well, “but whether your journey lasts five seconds or five days or (rather inconceivably) five years, all those who bravely take up this text and follow the tenets and trials laid out within will die knowing they were as ninja as they possibly could’ve been.”
In the words of the Ask a Ninja ninja, “Remember: People do not take the Path, the Path takes people.”
You’ve been honorably warned.
