Ok, I've most of Gemmell's works, and while a lot of his novels are adequate ways to pass the time, not many of them would have a place on my list of all-time fantasy classics. But if I have to pick just one, this is it.
One of the things I do enjoy about Gemmell is the way he constantly invents new faces, new worlds, instead of always rehashing the same things. And in this, he brings to life such a beautiful world and such convincing cast that you cannot help but be enthralled from beginning to end. Every character feels real, you can see them, you can feel them. This last instalment in the Drenai saga brings a great conclusion to the cycle, yet it can also be read completely independently. The events related here take place long after the rest of the saga, so much that the past is hardly relevant.
This is an epic novel, the story is very ambitious, and a times fairly moving. This is a powerful tale, and I'll not divulge any part of the plot, I just wanted to say that even if you've read other Gemmell novels and weren't all that impressed, you should not miss out on this one.

Found this author, by total accident on the Kindal. Just finished reading Winter Warriors, its an epic tale, very well versed and a fabulous read ;) Aged and retired soldiers fight for survival of the third unborn king, to prevent demons from being released into there world again. It is an epic read ;) Enjoyed it so much im going to read his other books ;)

Winter Warriors
I'm fast becoming a big Gemmell fan. I've yet to read a bad book by him. I think my favourite so far was Waylander, but this one may just top it, or at least push it very close. Read more

Disappointing
Having read numerous other Gemmell books, including the Troy series, the Damned books, and others (all of which I would have given 5 stars), I just didn't find The Winter Warriors... Read more

Im not a very big fan of this genre of books- i very rarely stop to check out this section in a bookstore, but Gemmell's works stand on the shoulders of them all , and in this book... Read more

Full of atmosphere and depth, and very moving.
Just occasionally some of the Drenai novels have aspects that I'm less keen on -- for example, sections in "the void" and swift resolutions brought about by sudden magic. Read more

Unoriginal but enjoyable
Winter Warriors is more akin to the Dragons series of books by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman. There are prophecies, evil wizards, treacherous demons, a city befouled, and lots of... Read more

Another cracker
A very good book as are all Gemmells works. The characters are all well realized but for me the main man is Bison....funny,sad,heroic to the end and HARD AS BLOODY NAILS!!! Read more

Not his best
Winter Warriors simply did not grip me as many of David Gemmell's other have done in the past. The set up is standard fantasy fare including a prophecy, journey, a swordsman,... Read more
