I second the Gould (Jumper, etc.) and Bakker (Prince of Nothing) recommendations.
I personally feel that Lawrence Watt-Evans’s books are a little too heavy on the cool, calculating protagonist. This sentence would not be out of place in his writing: “Tom noticed that the sword had gone through his stomach completely. However, clearly it had not hit anything immediately fatal, because he was still alive.” Bleah.
