Here's the latest update from one of Fight Card's founders and tireless promoter, Paul Bishop:
Our latest Fight Card novel, RISE OF THE LUCHADOR, with
Jadon Ridler writing as Jack Tunney, has just gone live with a brilliant painted
cover by Carl Yonder.
Like last month’s FIST OF AFRICA, RISE OF THE LUCHADOR takes Fight Cards readers into a new and different culture. This
time it’s the world of the luchadors – Mexican masked wrestlers. These
individuals who put on the mask of the luchador have become cult heroes in
Mexico and continue to inspire fans today. RISE OF THE LUCHADOR eloquently captures the mystique of these masked heroes and provides an
electrifying look at the world of Lucha Libre.
FIGHT CARD: RISE OF THE LUCHADOR
San Diego 2014 … Carlos may be the deadliest vale tudo
street fighter in Brazil, but he’s no match for the drug lord on his tail.
Haunted by the death of his best friend and on the run from a Mexican hit squad,
Carlos is forced into hiding with a traveling carnival crawling its way from San
Diego to LA. Within this world of freaks and con-men, Carlos has
no choice but to become the one thing he hates – a masked luchador wrestler.
However, once he has donned the mask, Carlos finds
there is much more to being a luchador than fake wrestling moves and cheesy
showmanship. There is a mystique and a responsibility carried by those who
become true luchadors. But will being a fake hero, no matter how
inspired or mystical, save him from the drug lord’s henchmen…Can it erase his
tortured past…Or will he be forced to once again become the killing machine he
has always been?
Rise of the Luchador is the next installment of the
acclaimed Fight Card Series.
