Book Reviews of The Musashi Flex (Matador)
Book Review: A Good Prequel
Summary: 5 Stars
"Musashi Flex" by Steve Perry is another great offering for those who have enjoyed the Matadore series. This is a fast paced book, as all of Perry's Matodore books have been. Perry manages to insert his readers into a far distant future, but still make them feel at home.
Many of the technologies that were at first "cutting edge" when Perry began his series with "The Man Who Never Missed", are in production and common place today. To me, this points out the visionary quality that writers like Steve Perry and others in the SciFi genre have. They seem to be road maps for what is to come.
"The Musashi Flex" focuses primarily on the semi-illegal fight game going on among the many Confed planets. The Flex is kind of a cross between NHB martial arts with a taste of the old west gunfighters. The Flex players move from planet to planet essentially dueling each other for the title of Primero...the number one fighter. This little book has all the elements of the current state of sports, with illegal performance drug use and constantly imroving training technique and fighting technique. However, Perry manages to describe fairly accurately the movement of these competitors from fighter to Spiritual warrior.
For those that have enjoyed this series, this book is also the origin of the 97 Steps martial art featured in all the Matador novels as well as showing the origin of the rebellion against the Confed.
A good read from Steve Perry. Hopefully, he will delve further into this series and continue to flesh out his fascinating view of the future.
