I wanna read something that's fucking brutal with fighting and sex and all the things, but also WELL WRITTEN (so NOT George R.R. Martin, I can't stand his shit). I want Lord of the Rings on crack and steroids.

I read John Ringo when I was younger (early 20's); it has a lot of what you are looking for.

I wouldn't call it high art, but the writing is fairly good.
