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 You'll have a new favorite author!!, July 20, 1999

This review is from: The Legend of Death Walker (Paperback)

I discovered David about 2 years ago and have read all of his work that I can get my hands on. I have read many, many, many other authors and have yet to find one, male OR female,that can write a purely fanatasized storyline and make it seem so in tune with todays society. Also David pulls no punches with the battles scenes and describes with exacting detail,all the blows and wounds with a precision that will leave you with a feeling of suffering them yourself! His characters die appropiately, cleanly and stay dead, without silly and miraculous "recoveries," that "turn the tide," one way, or the other, and ruin lots of other books by some of the more well known authors. He uses magic fairly and sensibly, as it should be and does not make his magic users invincible or any character and/or monster unconquerable. His stories flow nicely and are an enjoyable read!!

This story is a great addition to the Drenai saga. It still amazes me at how well David Gemmell can tie events together, not just in the one book, but the way he can combine backrounds from other books and give further storyline is a pleasure to read. My advise, read this book and any other Gemmell books you can get your hands on!

Even though Druss is not one of my favourite characters, I adore this book. Sieben the poet, Klay and Druss along with the Nadir make this book very special. It is very cleverly and beautifully written. You can taste the dust, feel the pain. My suggestion is 'read it damn you'!!!
