Trauma Alert by Radclyffe. The first installment in the First Responders series, Trauma Alert introduces us to Dr. Ali Torveau, an ER doctor who has dedicated herself to saving lives at the expense of her romantic life, although the real reason for her avoidance of romance runs much deeper.

Action Novels that are Well Worth Reading

With so many titles to choose from in the world of action and adventure literature, it may be difficult to choose your next read. Here are three action novels that are well worth reading, and would make great choices for your next book.

First Blood by David Morrell. If the title sounds familiar that’s because you may have seen it at the cinema. Yes, David Morrell’s first novel, First Blood, served as the basis for Rambo: First Blood. Although the screenplay went through a decade or revisions before finally making it to the screen, the novel is still every bit as action packed as the movie and well worth the read.

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. Although often filled with more biting social commentary than traditional action, Fight Club is nonetheless action packed in its own way. Adapted into a hugely successful movie featuring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton among other notable stars, Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club originated in novel form and is every bit as gripping and compelling as the movie, if not more.

Crucible: A Thriller by James Rollins. The latests release in his Sigma Force series, James Rollins (the pen name of author and veterinarian James Paul Czajkowski) shows exactly why he’s a dominant force in the world of action/adventure literature with the continuation of his Sigma Force storyline.

Fun Facts About Fight Club

A fan favorite that enjoys enduring success to this very day, Fight Club was a masterpiece of a film with a continued cult following. Here are three interesting facts about the film that you may or may not have known.

It started as a novel. Despite a drastically different ending, Fight Club manages to stay true to the plot, themes, and progression of Chuck Palahniuk’s debut novel of the same name. The all-star cast including Brad Pitt and Ed Norton seem perfectly suited to the characters they play, and the movie (much like the novel) is nothing short of a non-stop thrill from start to finish.

Even the wardrobe was R-rated. The MPAA was rather tough on Fight Club, and as a result many scenes were cut from the movie in order for it to maintain an R-rating. That said, the MPAA may have missed a ince detail in Brad Pitt’s wardrobe, as the tank top he wears in one of the pivotal final scenes is actually made up of various pornographic images. Oops.

The movie is absolutely full of Easter eggs. It may take the most perceptive of fans to notice them, but Fight Club is full of amusing Easter eggs. For example, one scene in the movie is filmed in front of a marquee for the movie Seven Years in Tibet, which of course, stars Brad Pitt. The movie is well worth another watch for those willing to try and spot some more...

Action and Adventure in Your Own Backyard

Looking for a thrill? You may not have to look that far. While it may be tempting to think that seeking action and adventure means traveling to far off destinations, often times you can find adventure just around the corner. Here are three action-packed activities you can do close to home.

Parkour. Born of basic military obstacle training, parkour exploded in popularity in part thanks to movies like Casino Royale and Brick Mansions. The concept is simple: Anything can be an obstacle. Often practiced in parks and cities, parkour can be done alone or as part of a group and requires no specific gear to get started, making it extremely accessible.

Rock climbing. You don’t necessarily have to be out in the mountains to enjoy rock climbing. As the sport gains in popularity more and more rock climbing centres are opening up, and many gyms are incorporating rock climbing walls into their facilities. Odds are you won’t have to look very far for a good rock climbing spot nearby! For the uninitiated who are worried about fussing with harnesses, bouldering often serves as an excellent introduction to rock climbing.

Biking. Mountain biking certainly provides a thrill, and usually any kind of rough terrain can be suitable for the job. For those who live far away from mountains or other suitable environments, the focus can be shifted to speed riding or even distance riding, anything more than just a leisurely stroll.

Action Movie Stars Who Did Their Own Stunts

One of the elements that make action movies so explosively exciting is the cleverly choreographed stunt sequences, and while many Hollywood stars make use of stunt doubles (or aren’t trained or insured against potential injury anyway), there are a select few who perform their own stunts to great effect.

The benefits of having an actor perform their own stunts allow for greater continuity and better believability in the movie itself. Here are some of your favorite action movies where the actors boldly did their own stunts.

Christian Bale in the Batman Series

All the actors involved in Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies were involved in the action scenes as much as was deemed sensible by the director. Bale himself trained extensively for the role and reportedly took part in several of the fight scenes.

Daniel Craig in Casino Royale

The Bond comeback film exploded onto our screens in 2006 to great critical acclaim, not least because of the unbreakable charisma of the then new, blond Bond, Daniel Craig. Craig reportedly performed many of his own stunts and action sequences, including jumping out of a third-floor window onto a moving bus!

Matt Damon in The Bourne Identity

Jason Bourne’s high-risk lifestyle and energy is the perfect match for an actor like Matt Damon, who got his hands properly dirty during the filming of the blockbuster franchise. Although the bigger (insanely dangerous) stunts are left to the professionals, Damon performed several of his own stunts and had a very active role in the state-of-the-art fight scene choreography.
