Book Cover & Preview Text
Looking up at the tall figure standing before them with solitary courage, they felt the weight of his resolve. The ridged features burned.
“You people are the heart of NSA. If the heart dies, the lion dies. So…don’t die, okay?” Royce allowed himself a small grin. “No matter what happens, don’t give up. Don’t give in. President Ikeda has proven that with the Gohonzon, you can always win in the end.”
They stared at the ravaged face; lamplight gleamed off the high temples.
“Stay with NSA. Stay with Rijicho, the lion that fears no obstacle. Don’t look for the junk in people: always look for the diamonds.”
His shoulders knotted, heaving against the locked hands. “Carry a diamond in your pocket!” he thundered, the words ringing in the air.

About the Book
The Sho Hondo Convention is over. Three thousand Buddhist Americans have returned from Japan, exhausted but triumphant. Relentlessly the next campaign begins: six months from now, a “Festival on Ice” will be held at the San Diego Sports Arena.
Unknown to all, deadly cancer has invaded the body of George M. Williams, supernova nucleus of NSA. Urgent surgery is required, but this would delay the San Diego Convention.
Will he save himself, or defy death to pursue the dream of a destitute priest who vowed seven hundred years ago to save humankind?
