Mortal Kombat
MORTAL KOMBAT
A novel by Jeff Rovin
I have owned this book for years but have just recently decided that it was time to read it. I am only a few chapters into it but am finding that the details of events and even the descriptions of the surrounds are very clear and really give you a great state of visualizing everything as you read. I find few books that really can do that for me but I have been impressed.

Have you read this book? What did you find about the writing style that you liked/dis-liked?

| "Apart from the characters that appear in the videogame Mortal Kombat, most of the gods, dragons, heroes, alchemists, curs, and folk characters described or mentioned in this novel come from the rich mythology and history of China. Interested readers can learn more by consulting such texts as Great Civilizations: China by Ian Morrison and the wonderful Alchemy, Medicine and Religion in China of A.D. 320, in particular the James R. Ware translation." |

Mortal Kombat was one of my favorite games in college, and I've seen all the movies. I am not a huge fan of books (yes, I am lazy) but I would spend time reading a book about the Mortal Kombat characters and their history. Thanks for the heads-up Bwren.

My favorite character to play with was Rayden, because I knew all his moves and they were easy to perform. As for history, obviously Liu-Kang would be the most interesting to read about in this book. If you are familiar with Kung-Lao, he is also an ancestor of Liu-Kang, so there is a lot of history behind the origin of Liu-Kang.

I was always very fond of Sonya Blade myself. Not so much for her moves or even her role within the story line but more for her background. A woman with this kind of ambition after what she has gone through early in her life. Any woman with her abilities makes for interesting reading.
