Gemmell Awards 2014 - THE WINNERS! - The David Gemmell Legend Awards Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence wins best novel, and best cover art. Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan wins best debut novel. Congratulations to both authors, and artist!

Thought this piece from Jared at pornokitsch was pretty interesting--what he thinks the Gemmell Awards do well and how he things they could get better. Your thoughts, either on this essay or the topic?

I tried to find an official website for David Gemmell, but haven't found one. Only the Gemmell Awards website and a few fan websites. I find that a little ... strange. Did there used to be a website, but now lapsed? Or did David Gemmell never have an official web presence?? (I also note...

I seem to recall from previous threads that this is something of a loaded question. :) However, so far as I can tell, following chronologically (by Drenai time, not publication dates) then the best order to read these would be: Waylander Waylander II: In the Realm of the Wolf Hero...

So part of my research pile included David Gemmell's Legend, so I've begun re-reading this. I read it once, about 20+ years ago, and I remember enjoying it then, except for the ending. I have to admit I was hesitant to re-read it now: a) because I remember Gemmell said the writing wasn't very...

Hello, I read A Sword in the Storm about 6 years ago. I just recently acquired the next three books of the series. Is there a website where I can get a recap of the first book before I embark on the next three.. A lot has slipped my memory and I do not have the the first book anymore.

My fellow Gemmell fans, I decieded to write my bachelor thesis about our beloved author D. Gemmell but I have a question - can you think of books with female heroine in his work? I know about The Legend and Ironhand's Daughter but I am not sure about the rest, can you help me a bit?

All original stories written in honour of David Gemmell. The lineup of contributors is still being finalised, but I can confirm Joe Abercrombie, James Barclay (a story chronicling the origin of The Raven), Tanith Lee, Adrian Tchaikovsky (a story in his Shadows of the Apt milieu), Juliet E...

Can anyone tell me which book it was in which a kid is playing at swordsman when someone fires an arrow from the woods, and the kid slashes the arrow by mistake

A copy has been found in Ireland. For a high price. Sadly I don't have that kind of money to spare for a book, so I thought I'd spread the word so some Gemmellian can gain the Holy Grail of David Gemmell Books...

Anyone here read David Gemmell's Troy series of books? Noticed them come up on Amazon and couldn't help be drawn in by the cover (especially Lord of the Silver Bow). The sample seems to read fine as well. However, am not familiar with these books - anyone who is?

Hi Seano here its my first post so go easy .Since the Great man died I been searching for a writer to provoke the same emotions as DG. Closest Ive Got is Lee Child and Reacher. Both have a strict moral code I know its a different genre but I recall DG started writing crime fiction. Be...

In WW Skilgannon says he was not born a Nashanite, are we ever told where he was born, Where was Decado from?

Which manliest of men would win?

His books were the best I ever read. The only thing I wish he'd done is write more female warriors as awesome as his male ones, but oh well.

Hey everyone! I'm looking for a comment from Waylander where he is getting challenged from somebody. But instead of fighting him, he just kills him saying that he (Waylander) is not fighting honorable. (something similiar) There is something similiar in 'Waylander 2 - In the realm of the wolf'...

Just finished White Wolf. 2nd time I've read it. Awesome book, but then, all of Gemmell's are. Here are some random thoughts for discussion. Why would Skillgannon marry Dayan when he was in love with Jianna? I don't then the book even goes into how he met Dayan. I loved the lead-in to...

Warning, KoDR spoiler below. I'm sure many already know this, but I just figured it out. While reading White Wolf, there is a mention of a Silverhand who died 2000 years ago and caused a tree to bloom. This is a direct reference to Nuada in KoDR. Although not directed called a novel of the...

Just curious if anyone has noticed differences in different editions of the books. I ask because I am listening to an unabridged audio book of White Wolf, and when I also looked into my digital version, I noticed the audio book skipped a whole section and that some paragraphs have more minor...
