Help me find this book/series

Dulin's Books · 01-25-2011, 01:25 PM

Recently I was talking with my wife and she mentioned something about a person in a movie being a"cape fighter" and it struck a cord.

I remember reading part of but maybe not all of a fantasy novel probably 20 some years ago that involved a character who was a cape fighter. It may or may not have been a series. I think I was staying somewhere when I started reading it and didnt finish before I left.

I believe there was "special" training so there were only a few of these cape fighters around. The capes were specially weighted on the corners and had dragon scales or something to make them sharp too.

I also remember that the world itself was "broken" with bits of the planet hovering next to each other but there still being a "top" to each piece and a bottom. There was also I believe an enemy that lived on the "bottom" that crawled up to attack some times.

Anyone remember reading it and the title?

Sorry Dulin, can't recall anything like that - sounds like a D&D style story?

Might the novel you are thinking of be Broken Worlds by Gareth Lewis.

Yet another find-the-book site

I found this link on the third page of a google search...

Maybe the second book here is yours?

What bunch of South African fighter and Dungeon&Dragon traders I had to wade through to find that! I think I don't have enough to do...
