More About the Author

David Gemmell was born in London, England, in the summer of 1948. Expelled from school at sixteen, he became a bouncer, working nightclubs in Soho. Born with a silver tongue, Gemmell rarely needed to bounce customers, relying instead on his gift of gab to talk his way out of trouble. This talent eventually led him to jobs as a freelancer for the London Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror, and the Daily Express. His first novel, Legend, was published in 1984 and has remained in print ever since. He became a full-time writer in 1986. His books consistently top the London Times bestseller list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Gemmell, September 3, 2004
This review is from: Dark Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
Another great stand alone book. This Story tell us of a troubled warrior who has to live with the demon inside him (literally). this demon is his brother and is the greatest swordfighter in the world... A trait that comes in handy when an ancient race of monsters is set free. The monsters are huge, whith natural body plate armor and two hearts...very hard to kill and they have a ataste for human flesh. Fortuantly our Hero makes some interesting frinedsz and efforts are made to recall another lost race of healers and majics to banish the fearsom monsters...

All in all this is a wonderful book, and the type of thing i read and wonder why there are not movies made of Gemmells books. They move a great speeds and always have facinating characters... Buy this book if you like wonderful stand alone fantasy... and as a refreshing twist... not all the "good guys" will survive...

4.0 out of 5 stars An amazing fantasy-fiction tale!, August 26, 1999
This review is from: Dark Moon (Paperback)
"Dark Moon" is an entertaining piece that achieves all the best in its genre: magic, black sorcery, evil men, blood-thirst monsters and human heroes that with cunning and courage fight for the saving of mankind. Yet David Gemmel grasps the story in an intense way: petty, meaningless details give way to an ever-flowing course of action and battle, while always depicting the problematic thoughts and past of the main characters. There isn't a single meaningless page in this book - everything is incredibly connected to speed our way to the great final. From beginning to end the main character - the swordsman Taratio (and its demon-ego Dace) - drive us through battles and difficult choices in a great adventure against an ancient and forgotten evil!

25th of August of 1999

5.0 out of 5 stars Gemmell is a master!, April 20, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Dark Moon (Paperback)
I thought I had read all the Gemmell books until I recently vacationed in Victoria, British Columbia. I live in the SF Bay Area. I was perusing Munro's Bookstore when I stumbled on five books I had never seen before on US bookshelves, Dark Moon, The First Chronicles of Druss the Legend, The Legend of Deathwalker, Ironhand's Daughter and The Hawk Eternal. Needless to say, I snatched them up immediately. Dark Moon was the first book I read back in the states, and I loved it!!!! Again we are rewarded with memorable characters and a great storyline. Gemmell is the greatest writer alive today!
