Japanese Warrior Monks AD 949–1603

From the 10th to the mid-17th century, religious organisations played an important part in the social, political and military life in Japan. Known as sohei ('monk warriors') or yamabushi ('mountain warriors'), the warrior monks were anything but peaceful and meditative, and were a formidable enemy, armed with their distinctive, long-bladed naginata. The fortified cathedrals of the Ikko-ikki rivalled Samurai castles, and withstood long sieges. This title follows the daily life, training, motivation and combat experiences of the warrior monks from their first mention in AD 949 through to their suppression by the Shogunate in the years following the Sengoku-jidai period.
Thraxas And The Warrior Monks
It's summer in the magical city of Turai and it's hotter than Orcish hell. All that Thraxas, third-rate sorcerer, second-rate private investigator and world-class drinker, is looking for is his next beer. Until he learns about the murder of Drantaax, the famous sculptor, and the guards arrest his client. It's a simple enough case, except that the massive statue Drantaax was working on has disappeared and rival bands of warrior-monks keep turning up all over town. And then there's the odd dead sorcerer to account for...And what does all this have to do with the dolphins and their lost healing stone? Funny and fast-moving, THRAXAS AND THE WARRIOR MONKS confirms Martin Scott as one of the brightest new voices in fantasy fiction.
