Achilles - A Force of Nature (IN TRIBUTE TO DAVID GEMMELL)

Tell me your fave Gemmell moments and pay your respects to the great man.

I've started a new group called Gemmell's Group, go on there to talk about any aspect of Gemmell's books you want.

In tribute to the late David Gemmell.
And if his wife Stella ever reads this: Stella, Fall of Kings was sick. I salute you.

As for David Gemmell

I treasure each and every one of his books.

One of my favourite Druss moments was in 'White Wolf'. He walks into a tavern crowded with enemy soldiers. They fall silent, staring, and Druss says to them: "I am Druss..." He hammers his axe into a tabletop. "...and this is Death."

@TheIronCodeofDruss midnight falcon is halfway through a story too <3 bane one of my fav characters just for being so real and imperfect

@Waylander7475 best comment of all in my honest opinion!.If you look hard enough (and you don't have to look too hard)gemmell offered alot more to his readers than just a spellbinding story.I can safely say that i would not be the man i am today without having read my first gemmel book(first chronicles of druss)all those years ago any true gemmel fan knows what i mean when i say that these books are truly life changing if read and understood the way they are intended to be.

Nothing can EVER beat Druss the Deathwalker, maybe a close second would be Beltzer or Nogusta, I love axes over swords so Skillgannon comes after all of the above mentioned :P

I picked up the Troy series a year or so ago. Read them thrice over. What an amazing story teller he was. I can't wait to get into the Drenai Series :)

Druss the legend, "aye laddie!"

@WatchRyder god i loved him lol. (dace) (david gemmel)

[Waylander7475]

David gemmell gives to his readers the same gift. Only those who have read his work - be that only one book, or indeed all of his novels - can know what we experience time and agiain. The lessons and philosophies we learn. The joy and saddness, the love and the codes of honour. he gave us Druss. He gave us Connavar and Grymauch. He gave legends and heroes in a time in such desperate need of them.

I love all David Gemmell books. Got most of them in paperback but hope to get them all in hardback eventually. (Just got Fall of Kings...signed copy, off tinternet for £50...woohoo!!!) I love the way he intermingles historical figures into a world of fantasy!

The Troy trilogy are my faves, closely followed by Parmenion battling his way through ancient Greece in the brilliant Lion of Macedon and Dark prince.

I was challenged by WH Smiths to 'Get into Gemmell or your money back' The book was Midnight Falcon and I had to leave the store, with the book! Damn! lol
