Skilgannon is perhaps the least flawed of David Gemmel's Heroes. He is corrupted by those around him, and guilty about serving evil men. But he is smart, capable, charismatic, respectable, and able to fit in with nobles and kings. He isn't responsible for any of his flaws, they were all inflicted on him by outside forces.
The plotting of this book is as good as any of the other Drenai Tales. In some ways it closes the gap of some of the mythology hinted at throughout the series. More...

Amongst the action, and the depth of characters in Gemmells' work, there are underlying themes. There is the moral theme; showing that people are not wholly good or bad, and the strength it takes to stand by your beliefs, and your comrades. There's also the theme of redemption; can someone who has committed vile acts ever make up for what they have done? And, more importantly, will it stop them from trying.

qualsiasi libro che abbia druss ... beh non può non piacermi uno degli eroi piàù belli del fantasy se poi si pensa che il protagonista è l'antieroe per ecellenza e che lo scrittore è davvero bravo abbiamo tutte le stimmate del capolavoro di genere

Another memorable hero from Gemmell's now legendary Drenai saga. Extremely well written and executed, full of memorable characters, action sequences and musings on the true nature of heroism. Vintage fare for the fans of heroic fantasy sub genre.

It's not written very well, and most characters in the Drenai series are alike in many ways, but I don't care. This is the series (well, this book specifically) that got me reading, and I love them to death <3

In short: this is the book that if I didn't already know (and like) Gemmell's work, would have been the one to convince me to read more by him. Ranks up with Legend as one of Gemmells best works.

This is one of my two favorite Gemmell books, the other being The Swords of Night and Day. Skilgannon is one of my favorite Gemmell characters, as is Druss, who is also in this book. Excellent read.

Actually quite enjoy David Gemmell, this had links to another character I have read about in his books. Almost couldn't put it down!

Yet another in a long line of books in the Drenai Tales, I'm finding these books to be rather uniform. In some sense, it's hard to tell one from another. They're all about extraordinary warriors, usually flawed men looking for some sort of redemption. This one is no different, and I mean that in every sense of the word. It really is no different from any of those that came before.
I believe only one more book was written in this series before Gemmell's death, and I'll undoubtedly read More...

Yet another Gemmell hero, Skilgannon. Brooding, haunted, more dangerous than any man alive, etc. Nothing terribly original, but a nice addition to the Drenai saga. Once again, good for those that like sword and sorcery with an emphasis on the sword.

This would be a good one to read before reading "The Swords of Night and Day." It's also very good.

I became a Druss fan with this book but it Olek that captured my attention. And it was also this book that got me into David Gammell books. There is a slightly feeling the book is on a run, specially towards the end, but I still love it nevertheless!
