The Struggle for Justice and Truth by Tomas Cudzis was a really good one for me. It contains all the action I desire. Our guy Tomas just feels all fat and worthless, so he looks in a mirror and then decides to toughen himself and fights underground MMA. However, slick as that sounds, this path only converts him into a more envious and bigoted individual. He gets all mixed up with a very creepy Chinese gang called the Triads and ends up as some hotshot in Hong Kong. He manages to flee the country, but after that escape, it almost starts all over again, and he has got tons of pursuers in Far America by now; only too willing helpers would ring a bell. With the aid of a secret government agency, Tomas fights against them. It's a high-stakes game, however, as the body count grows higher and Tomas starts to wonder if it really is worth it after all. His past haunts him, and he cannot break free from a war that appears never-ending.

Ulrike was a badass independent woman who did not conform to the norms. This was what made me admire her character the most. Her dual life was interesting to me as well, someone who works with the underworld but is also one of Justice or Truth League. I respected her so much for standing up against the norm, which made me question myself even.

My third-most favorite character in the book is Violetta. I even became really invested in Violetta because of how devoted she was to the mission or task at hand, whatever it may be. She is an important part of the organization, and I like that her duty guides most of her actions, even if they may at times be really morally ambiguous (such as decisions that value mission over human life). I say a bit of gray area because, while I respect the ambitions, it was difficult for me to look past how most all those choices came out. She was obviously struggling with internal dilemmas, as she always morally justified what she had to do in her head but still gave off a clear image of disliking herself for it. I like her, and she added more dimension to the story. I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars because I found nothing to dislike from it. Also, I found no errors while reading it, so it was edited professionally.
