| Best Fight in DG's books. What is your favourite fight in all his books. The best for me is in TKBTG, when Decado rides to Tenaka's aid against the Dark Templars. He places the lives of all the Thirty in his hands while the DT do the same for their leader. Then, even though the DTleader can read Decado's mind and predict his moves, he starts to feel fear because he's facing a surperior warrior who is to fast to react to. Absolutely the coolest fight ever. Their are quite a few honourable mentions such as Skligannon v Agasarsis and Ironmask in White Wolf and against Decado in TSONAD. Rage v Voltan and Vorkas. Antikas Karios v the Krayakin. Kysumu's student after being taken over by another being fighting one of those beast things. Their are so many cool fights but Decado's I think is just the coolest. |

| Re: Best Fight in DG's books. I think its simple choice for me cause i have only read Rigante books so far. I think the best fight/battle so far is when in sword in the storm. Connavar and Ruathain fight side by side and lead thier men against the Pannone and the Vars. |

As well as the last fight in the Gemmell series where it ends with Gaise being Shot, The Fight of the Legend Riders was good as well |

| Re: Best Fight in DG's books. Of course Jaim rescue was the best fight in the hole series. The only reason i didnt mention it was i thought the threadmaker was talking about battles. Do you have the soft tradeback with that cover? I have that our both avs as covars for my copies of the books. The Midnight Falcon cover is the best though with Bane and the tiger. |

| Re: Best Fight in DG's books. I have seen the other covers for The Rigante books and they look so lame compared to these covers. You barely see anything. Next time i go and buy a DG book, i will choose the one best looking cover ![]() |

| Re: Best Fight in DG's books. To be honest with you I find this a hard one to pick, Id say perhaps go for the best overall battle in which case its probably going to be from Lion of Macedon when we see the Thebans kick Spartan backside with the best one on one combat being either one with Druss (where he fights Nogusha) or perhaps Skilgannon squaring off with Decado. Its so hard to pick just one, I have lots of favourites. |

| Re: Best Fight in DG's books. I like to think one of the most heroic scenes was when Beltzer announced himself to the Nadir in aQFLH. other than that I lked when Durmast rescued Waylander from certain death. both good fights! |

| Re: Best Fight in DG's books. Another one that isn't really described is the battle at Bel-azar. Only four men survived, and technically they won, even though they didn't beat the Nadir, Tenaka withdrew. |

True. I'm still intrigued as to who was the better swordsman between Tenaka and Chareos. | |

| Re: Best Fight in DG's books. Tenaka only withdrew because of the prophecy concerning "The Ghosts Yet To Be" didnt he? Not that Im trying to take anything away from the heroes of Bel-azar. I've got alot of respect for Chareos but I think Tenaka would have probably owned him. Chareos said himself that he had beaten faster and more skillful swordsmen, only thanks to his mental conditioning. I dont think that advantage would have applied against Tenaka. He was simply too good. |
