One thing that happened toward the middle of my book is that the main character, Jack, met up with one of his old teachers. The teacher was working for the Emperor, though, which surprised Jack at first. Then, he began to think that his old sensei was going to spring a trap on the enemy, and flee with Jack. Turns out, he just ends up cutting the tip of Jack's pinkie finger off. When asked why, the sensei replied that, in capturing Jack, he would restore his honor, which he lost in a previous book.
What I was thinking about when I read this was how most people can be bought off to do just about anything. I mean, here's a guy who just cut off a former pupil's finger. Granted, he used to take pride in beating said pupil up during training, but still... he used to look after this kid. It doesn't get much more extreme than that.
Nice post, Jim. So far even though I haven't seen 1 or 2 it sounds interesting. By the way is that Battlestar Galactica in the backgrond?
ReplyDeleteUmmm... are you serious? Battlestar Galactica?
DeleteMy disappointment meter is off the charts :(
DeleteNice post, but are you talking about the Way of the Warrior series. Those were some pretty awesome books, but i didn't know that there were more than 3 books. Did the author start a new trilogy or something?
ReplyDeleteThe author started a new series, but he lives in England. It hasn't been carried over to the US.
