What is your favourite fight in all his books. The best for me is in TKBTG, when Decado rides to Tenaka's aid against the Dark Templars. He places the lives of all the Thirty in his hands while the DT do the same for their leader. Then, even though the DTleader can read Decado's mind and...

Hi Guys, am new so sorry if this has been posted or discussed before, But I am I the only one who got the feeling that Jianna reinhabits Askari at the end of SoNaD? Just had a feeling with the way it ended with her forgetting her bow again. Any responses appreciated and apologies to anyone who...

Heya, i was wondering if anyone could recommend any other writers similar to David Gemmell as i have read almost all of his books excluding some of his really early stuff and books under a different alias. He is my all time favourite writer and as hard as i look i can't really find any kind of...

I know most people will say the Drenai saga. But which of Gemmell's series' did everyone find the best. I like the Rigante books the most, and The Damned books a close second. (I know the damned books are drenai)

Who, in your opinion, was Gemmels most dangerous/deadliest character in any of his books and why? Is it Waylander...Druss...Decado...Tarantio...Skillgannon...Connovar...??? And who was the best swordsman?

I have heard that the Drenai Tales omnibuses are to be reprinted. Can anyone confirm this? thanks

Hello, I don't know if this has been discussed before (because I'm new) but has anybody worked out the chronological order of the Drenai novels? I've read them all (accept for the most recent one released) but I read them with large intervals in between so I can't quite remember.

for those who did not know David wrote childrens novel with his daughter in 1986 David finished "Lost Crown" and sent the manuscript to his publishers. They didn't like it, saying that they didn't think it had a "voice" for children. So it was shelved. When David asked for the manuscript...

Hi I'm doing a course on science fiction, fantasy and horror, and am allowed to invent my own essay title. I've chosen to write about the use of ancient myths and legends within modern fantasy fiction. Haven't really got time to re read all of Gemmell's work, so I was just wondering if anyone...

What if . . . David Gemmel were still with us and he asked his loyal readers what would they like to see after the Troy trilogy from him? Another Drenai novel? Old characters? New characters? Totally new worlds? Historical novels? Maybe a novel based on events in a present novel, but from a...

Which of the many Heroes that have joined the source would you most like to have survived? Which touched you the most? One of the characters I would have liked to have read more about was Magrigg, I felt like he died too early, before i could get to know him.

Ive posted this as a press release as well but thought that I'd repost for the fans here : Tranworld and David Gemmell’s Estate have been kind enough to let me know that there will be a Thanksgiving Service held in honour of David at 3pm on Monday the 30th October 2006 at St James Church (St...

LEGEND – The original, the flawed, the template, yet the best - I have thought this work of brilliance should have been made into a film years ago, when I first read Legend!! If it isn't obvious to all that have read it or maybe will after reading this, you clearly don't understand what the...

So we went tot he used book store yesterday and I read some gemmel pages, and was interested. So, what should I buy first? Seems like he has a lot of books!

Sorry its taken so long to turn up to add this : Transworld are delighted to announce that David Gemmell’s wife, Stella, is going to complete FALL OF KINGS, the final novel in the Troy trilogy. David delivered 70,000 words of FALL OF KINGS to his editor the day before he went into hospital...

Hello Am completely new to David Gemmell but I'm staying at my mum's and I had no books to read so sitting in my little bro's room I notice Dark Moon. I pick it up... I've barely put it down. I am really enjoying it and am keen to read his other material so, what would you recommend I look at...

David Gemmell I was sad to read that David Gemmell has passed away: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5224868.stm Not sure why it has affected me, since I don't actually know him, I guess I've always connected with his writing/characters. Not much that can be said - a sad loss to...

Who agrees with me that Waylander is THE coolest character in any book, movie or anything. I've created this Thread so we can talk about Waylander.

David’s publishers have been kind enought to mail me and let me know what’s happened and the reason why the tour is cancelled this year. Firstly it was David’s health that had the scare and he has undergone a quadruple heart bypass (which initially was set to be a triple but when the Doctors...

Righty ho everyone, I have an interview coming up with DG so if anyone has any questions then please let me know, I'll do my best to get as many in as I can however I cant guarantee to get them all in. Also if you are after a Gemmell Wallpaper I do have one currently for Shield of Thunder and...
