review 1: What happens when two immovable forces collide? What if those forces only survive because they are immovable? What if those same forces are pure of intent and as such used as pawns in others larger game of profit, but none of the players care so long as the goal is attained? That goal? To fight. Not to win titles. Not to unify championships. Not to have eternal glory. But simply to be a true fighter because words like warrior or gladiator are just words. That is the power of this novel. That is why "Title Fight" for all of its raw brutality, unflinchingly pugnacious language and pummeling imagery is a rare and desirable book. No, I'm not a fan of boxing or books about it. But I AM a fan of GOOD books that use real characters and EFFECTIVELY use pugilism as a vehicle to see... more the inner psyche of a pure fighter. I think that the most powerful moments in the novella came when former and current fighters didn't fight, but talked. Honestly. Openly. And fully about what the reasons are for why they do what they do and why pain isn't to be avoided. But to be embraced as a goal and vehicle in attaining the ultimate goal. To be known as one who truly fought. Not sparred. Not scuffled. Not wrestled around. But FOUGHT! Ding. Ding. Ding.
review 2: An MMA story that ties into Siglers' GFL? Sounds good!Created a bit of the atmosphere that The Rookie did (it takes place between The Rookie and the Starter I believe. You see some of the same characters, Greedok the Splithead, Doc Patah, etc.This story sets up the fight scene like boxing. Fixed fights, mobs getting involved etc. But only the true warriors will rise against that to fight honorably.Korak the Cutter, world champion Quyth warrior, undefeated and Chial "The Heretic" North, the first Human to really make a run for the title.Lots of drama, and lots of action, with a bit of a surprise ending. Quick read, very fun. And if you don't want to read it, it's of course available for download FOR FREE at scottsigler.com less
