The Combat Codes
The Combat Codes | Alexander Darwin
1 post | 1 read | 4 to read
The Combat Codes fuses thrilling mixed martial arts action into an immersive sci-fi world. A must-read for any fan of unarmed combat. Murray Pearson is sick of buying broken kids from the slave Circles. He's sick of training them to become skilled combatants, only to watch them break again. He's sick of reporting his failures as a talent scout to men who don't have the guts to stand in the Circles themselves. Cego doesn't understand why he's fighting. He doesn't understand the grueling training sessions he's forced to endure every day. He doesn't understand why they scream for blood when he steps into the Circle. The one thing Cego does understand is hand-to-hand combat. He was born to fight. Cego is sent down an unlikely path at Murray's side, paved with fierce competition at the world's most prestigious combat school along with the answers to his own mysterious past.

106/150 This books was such an amazing surprise, far exceeding my expectations. In a future devastated by weapons of mass destruction, all disputes and wars were settled in single combat. The Lyceum was established to created the greatest warriors, the Grievar Knights. The author is a martial arts teacher, so the fights were very authentic and realistic. I loved the characters and the action, but also the mystery behind the mc's past.

RamsFan1963 Some readers have complained the ending is too abrupt, but I felt it stopped at a good place, with an explosive reveal and a solid cliffhanger. Fortunately the next book, Grievar's Blood will be available in December. 1y
