Great review, Gilbert. I haven't heard David Gemmell's name for quite some time. His "Troy Trilogy" was particularly fascinating; however, unfortunately, he past away before being able to write the final book of the series himself.

Gemmel's death was a great lost to epic fantasy. I read somewhere that he started writing legend when he found out he had cancer as a sort of therapy. We are very fortunate that he survived to write so many superb novels, but I guess no one gets to last forever...
