Infinite Kung-Fu

There’s been considerable buzz building up to the release of Kagan McLeod’s monster of a book, “Infinite Kung-Fu,” and with its wide release this past week, it proves that all of that buzz and hype was completely on the money. Expansive, entertaining, and full of pretty much everything you could love about kung-fu stories, “Infinite Kung-Fu” is a page turner that’s hard to put down. And, when you do put it down, it won’t be for very long. The story that McLeod tells is painfully simple yet allows for many detours and tangents, creating an expansive world that’s easy to dip in and out of without losing sight of the larger plot. Eight Immortals want to prevent the ghost of the Emperor from recovering his armor, resurrecting himself, and destroying the world. Each Immortal has a student, five of whom have turned bad thanks to the teachings of ‘poison kung-fu.’ One is dead, one still fights the good fight, and the final one, the pupil of the chief Immortal, has just been recruited.
