    new life for old books

    I get the impression that nothing of David Gemmell's has ever been republished 'anew' except for, 'Legend'. My copy of this book is old and second-hand but how unfortunate that the rest of the Drenai series have not been taken up and re-breathed into circulation. Gentlemen, if not for...

    Neophyte - where to start

    After seeing Gemmel's name come up copmpared to Dave Duncan and Paul Kearney (just finished and loved the Macht books), I thought it might be time to look into his books. I do like military fantasy, some of my other favorites authors are Erikson, Cook, and Abercrombie. I checked out Gemmel's...

    Kindle versions

    I am disappointed in the publishers Kindle versions of David Gemmell's books. They are formatted very poorly with large spaces between paragraphs. I did however stumble on Dark Moon and it looks like it is the only book formatted like the novel, so I bought it and am thoroughly engrossed in the...

    David Gemmell - the greatest writer

    When I was 12, I saw my dad was reading a book called Waylander. When he was outside in the yard, I read the synopsis on the back cover and the story sounded amazing! I asked if I could read it after him, but he said quite sternly that it wasn't for children. I hired it out from the local...

    Which to read? Rigante versus Stones of Power

    Well, I love my David Gemmell. I've read Troy, and all the Drenai books twice, and a couple of the stand alones. Next I'm planning to read Rigante OR The Stones of Power series (including the Lion and Macedon and Dark Prince). Which would you go for of the two, and why? (i.e, which shall I...

    Drenai Re-visited

    I hope this doesn't annoy the Mods, but I previously posted this in Gen Discussion. I thought it'd make sense to give it some exposure here in the DG forum as well... So, this year I re-read David Gemmell's Drenai "series" in full. I read them in the order they were written, rather than the...

    Knights of Dark Renown: Last four words.

    I just re-read KoDR and at the end of the Epilogue, after spending exactly 400 pages with some of David Gemmells greatest characters. Those four words that made me feel cold and empty inside... ...Possibilities for a second book? or just one of the greatest endings ever written. Sadly we will...

    Big fans of the Rigante Series

    ... I have a question. I can't find my copies of the Rigante series and wanted to research a character and some scenes from one of these books. However, I cannot for the life of me remember what the character was called and which book he featured in. He is the uncle (?) of the main...

    Waterstones not stocking the old Gemmel books

    Been browsing Waterstones and noticed a real lack of stock for Gemmel's best works, instead they just had two of his last books, the Greek series. Can't believe it! No Waylander; No Legend; No Shannow books! How can they not stock Wolf in Shadow!!! Disgraceful...

    Fan work of the Drenai or Rigante world?

    Hello guys, am just wondering if someone out there has started working on some fan work, or fan stories? If not, would it be allowed to do so if someone haven't started. It would be fun to see a video game or a strategy rpg board game made out of some of gemmels stories.
