Aiki

by John Gilbert

In the future, the government controls the people with drugs and the Arena--where trained gladiators fight duels to the death with bizarre weapons. Ultimately, a titanic clash between two martial arts masters--one good, one evil--threatens the government's stranglehold on the hearts and minds of the people. Fine.

I absolutely loved this book. The theme was right up my alley. Great philosophy, interesting fight scenes. A brief glimpse into different martial art concepts which, at the time written, would not have been necessarily quite as well known as they might be now. This book won't be for everybody, I assume, but it's an interesting light read that will inspire questions and interesting thought exercises.
