| Musashi Flex
A sub plot from a series of books by Steve Perry: The Man Who Never Missed; Matadora; The Machiavelli Interface; The Albino Knife; Black Steel; Brother Death; The 97th Step; The Mushashi Flex. The only weapon book is Black Steel, between a katana wielding protagonist and a rapier (epee?) wielding antagonist. Mushashi Flex: an extra societal, galaxy wide competition between martial artists, both armed and unarmed, named after Miyamoto Musashi Fujiwara Genshin of The Book of Five Rings and and possibly Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu fame. Think roaming combative art masters seeking to achieve the ultimate position as "primero," the #1 slot. You register and seek out individuals higher that you in the overall stats. You fight, the winner advances and the loser falls, with a coincident trip to the hospital or the morgue. The total story line mostly centers around Emile Antoon Khadaji and his efforts to overthrow a repressive government, on a galactic scale. Not great literary works but a thought provoking storyline with regard to the main character in the first three books, and his band of martial artists. Worth reading. |
