The Combat Codes
The Combat Codes
The first book in a debut, action-packed and character-driven science fiction trilogy set in a world where the fate of empires is determined by battle-hardened warriors who are trained to compete in brutal single combat. "The Combat Codes is that rare book that fully satisfies me as an action fan." - Fonda Lee, author of Jade City "This book kicks ass--literally and literarily!" - Richard Swan, author of The Justice of Kings In a world long ago ravaged by war, the nations have sworn an armistice never to use weapons of mass destruction again. Instead, highly-skilled warriors known as Grievar Knights represent their nations' interests in brutal hand-to-hand combat. Murray Pearson was once a famed Knight until he suffered a loss that crippled his homeland -- but now he's on the hunt to discover the next champion. In underground and ruthless combat rings, an orphaned boy called Cego is making a name for himself. Murray believes Cego has what it takes to thrive in the world's most prestigious combat academy - but first, Cego must prove himself in the vicious arenas of the underworld. And survival isn't guaranteed. "A book about warriors written by a master of the martial arts, and the mastery shows." - Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons "Bare-knuckle brilliance." - Jackson Ford, author of The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with Her Mind
