Being that fantasy books or all genres, especially Dark Fantasy seems to often have characters that are martially inclined, I was wondering if anyone has an opinion of who writes the best fight scenes.

My personal vote goes to Richard Monaco, who wrote an Arthurian series based around Parsival and the Grail Quest. He was a fine writer all around, but most of all, I think he wrote the best fight scenes than any other writer that I've personally encountered. They were viceral and detailed, but not too mechanical and self-concious.

I wanna fight!

Well then Emily, pick your weapons.

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments Oh Emily! Pick the AK-47!


message 8: by [deleted user] (new)

I think I'd go for an M-14 myself. AKs have a trajectory like a rainbow.

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments Oh. Emily! Pick the AK-74!

...................................................................................................................................................I choose the stick.

I'd recommend Steve Perry's Matador series. He's a good author with significant MA experience. It shows in his writing.


message 12: by [deleted user] (new)

Thanks Joe. And I stand warned on your choice of weapons Emily. I have no doubt you are the most formidable of opponents.

We stand warned Taylor. Do you have a prefered style of fighting or will you just appear out of nowhere and kill us all ninja-like?

I don't think anyone has stood out on the battlefield so clearly since Alexander the Great. Lethal in Pink.

I have it on good information this is exactly how the Navy SEALS were dressed when they took out bin Ladin. Were you among them?


message 23: by [deleted user] (new)

Without a doubt. You stand supreme among the fashionistas.


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

Well, I think you'd kill the competition.


☆♪°Õ²¹²â±ô´Ç°ùÓ˪☆ (taybrookeg) | 16 comments you betcha! they're no match for my grenades!




message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

Obviously your outfit is fully accesorized.


message 28: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments She forgot the boots.


message 30: by [deleted user] (new)

In all honest, this isn't what I had in mind when I started this thread...I guess I should have titled it differently... but nice boots though. Not sure I'd want to do a forced march in them.


message 31: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments This is a very entertaining thread to read though, even if this isn't how you planned it........


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

Well, it's conversation.... it just takes a life of its own and we roll with it.


☆♪°Õ²¹²â±ô´Ç°ùÓ˪☆ (taybrookeg) | 16 comments It's my version of warfare... it can't be done without pink and rhinestones


message 34: by [deleted user] (new)

Probably not what you were thinking but it still came to mind....


☆♪°Õ²¹²â±ô´Ç°ùÓ˪☆ (taybrookeg) | 16 comments not at all what i was thinking


message 36: by [deleted user] (new)

Not too many people where Rhinestones to my knowledge... it seems kind of 70s, like that song..hahahaha...
