But this book nails it - it is a great yarn, well told, and the medieval siege fighting and the supernatural elements are just props in the background of that story. One jarring note - the casual sexism of the era (published in 1984) allows the fiercely independent Earl's daughter to disappear into the background as soon as she is married, while the husband immediately takes on the role of the Earl, via the marriage, when the father-in-law conveniently dies; and he is able to knock her to the ground in a minor disagreement and feels no compulsion to apologise - but she probably deserved it!!

All that stands between them and the Drenai people is a mighty six-walled fortress, Dros Delnoch??a great citadel that seems destined to fall. If it does, the Nadir will sweep inexorably across the land, killing all who oppose them. Reluctantly Druss agrees to come down from his mountaintop to lead this last, hopeless fight. Lost causes mean nothing to him??he has fought in such battles a thousand times in a thousand lands. And he is a hero to i No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Finally got around to starting the Drenai books.
Just so enjoyable.
Easy to read, great characters who all have their own stories and imperfections and all come together.
I know Gemmell has also written books based on Troy, and I can see how this would really suit him. Epic heroes, all larger than life, confronting each other in the middle of battles.... (
