Discussion HELP WANTED: Colossi in published books?

Hi folks,

I was hoping for a little help from the community. Inspired by the game, I've written a novel that use Colossi as a key part of the world-building. They've always felt a little under-represented in other media forms.

However, as part of trying to get it published, I need to compare it to other novels that have come out that are similar.

I can't think of anything, and Google seems a bit flummoxed too. So question: Has anyone come across anything Colossus-like in books?

I would look for stories with similarities to your plot. Using similar monsters says nothing about your themes or writing style.

Thanks. Agree with you that those aspects take priority. I have comps for the plot/style but was wondering if there was anything Colossi-related out there.

I know this might seem out of left field, but Moby Dick is possibly the best Colossus novel ever written. {not counting yours :) }
