More on Antagonists

Abraham Soriah and Karl Manoukian may be the main antagonists to the mc Trent Smith in Killer of Killers, but are they in the sequel Killer Eyes? I can't really say without giving a spoiler. One of the suspenseful aspects in the story is who gets it in the end. Will it be one or the other of those two. Obviously, since there is a sequel it's safe to say the hero, or mc, doesn't die.

But in the sequel I can safely say that there is indeed another antagonist, whom I talked about in this blog during the course of writing the story. And it's a woman! Ming Sang, the daughter of a Chinese freedom fighter during WWII, is the main antagonist. She is a beautiful woman but at the same time a very sinister individual.

So is it unusual to have a female antagonist? I mean as the main antagonist? Sure women are bad in a lot of stories, but how often are they the main heavy? And this Ming Sang is pretty heavy. She is a martial arts expert, herself. No, not as good as Trent Smith, and she knows it. Is she as good at killing as Trent Smith? I would say yes. And she has an army of killers at her command. And Trent Smith has to fight them all.

How does one guy fight an entire army? Well, to find out you've got to read the book!
