Ever since reading David Gemmell's 'Troy' series of books I have been hooked on Gemmell as an author. I have since begun to read all of his books and the Drenai books are simply wonderful reads.
I was originally unsure about whether to read the Drenai books as I've never been a huge fan of heroic fantasy - however given just how much I enjoyed the Troy books and the wonderful writing style of David Genmmell I decided to try them. I am so pleased that I did and I have now read nearly all of Gemmell's books and urge anyone considering the books to do it, you will not be disappointed.
All of the books are great and can be read as stand alone books or in order. The characters are wonderfully bought to life, there's love, romance, humour, twists & turns, betrayal, revenge, heroes, villains, sorcery, savagery, battles, noble deeds and you will simply fall into the world the Gemmell creates for you. These books deserve to be read and its a an absolute tragedy that Gemmell is no longer with us.

I thought this boo kwas fantastic. I've read a fari bit of heroic fantasy and, in all those books, the heroes are shining men with no faults. Just as the fables tell. But QFLH shows the truth.
The story revolves aroudn heroes of a lost battle - stories of whom describe them as brave, valiant heroes - yet nothing could be further than the truth. One is fat and ugly and smells - one is a coward and was only present at the battle because he ran from somewhere else. This book scrapes away the romantic veneer that campfire songs give to heroes and portrays them as they could be: real people with real faults. The characters in this book are superb.
As is the story. As with all of Gemmell's books, this grips from the first few pages, right through to the end. It's a great book and my favourite Gemmell book so far.

Great tale
The tale is excellent with good pace and sound wisdom and a mixture of flaws in the main characters. The story develops well and keeps the reader on the edge of the seat. Read more

Brilliant but repitions creeping in
Four stars because this is without doubt another Gemmell master piece. The charecters are rich yet real...not romantic hero's but real men with real faults. Read more

Satisfied
The postage was a little slow on this item, but this is probably not down to the seller.
The book was in ok condition, and I was satisfied that I got what I paid for.
