Just finished the trilogy and honestly this is the first time in aaages that a book has made me cry at its climax. Was a brilliant weaving of storylines, Brent Weeks has a knack of making his characters lives absolute crap, and then they get worse l…
Haven't read 'Blood of Elves' but having just read i have to say that Sapowski has an originality that hasnt been tainted by mainstream or any other sources. Its creatures and characters are created vividly and with such cynical reference to old 'nu…
LOL, He's different men in different times for example he also pops up in David's Arthurian duology as Maedlyn. You'd be surprised at how many people turn up time and again in different novels and I think you'd probably also find a link into the Haw…
Is there anymore info on this book, i would be really interested to read about David gemmels personal life, Career and everything else. How is it coming along?
i was just rereading 'The Lion of Macedon' and started wondering who David was making Aristotle, becuase once he appeared so many other plot devices that span Davids other books showed their heads, like the source, daniel stones, echoes of the great…
I havent read these books either but mainly because i didnt realise that the author and the books are connected to the PC game called 'The Witcher'. I recommend you read the first book and play the game, it is very enveloping, the characters, story…
There are surprisingly few people mentioning David gemmell on a David Gemmel fan site lol. Gemmell has always been my fav author of all and of fantasy. I love 'The Witcher' PC game and really want to read the books. Ive been reading a LOT of Louis l…
Thankyou as well fellow convicts:) Ive finished Abercrombies series, great authorand amazing characters (I love the Northmen) though i must say i did vote for Brent Weeks in the Award, his book just enveloped me.
I live in Canberra. Welcome to the boards - its good to see more Gemmell fans here.
Yes, you have to be rigid and realistic in your goals for each day. Set aside one hour each day at a time that is highly convenient for you. Tell everyone you know that you will be busy for that hour and that you are not to be interrupted. Sit down…
Nice to see another South Aussie here - have my wrist band lying somewhere - so they do ship to Australia. Havn't seen the books you mention, but now have the whole Troy series to read soon. Currently nearing the end of Joe Abercrombie's First Law t…
I am a champion procrastinator, it is my greatest skill. I truly believe that if i could apply myself to one thing i would excel at it, but due to chronic illness and depression i don't. I have always wanted to write, and of course writing on this b…
I do the same as Dros as well, read my DG books every year. I also like to reread my Dick francis and Louis Lamour novels (Louis mainly because i heard that David was a huge fan of him, owned all his books too and his writing was amazing, The Man wa…
How in the world can you choose 'one' of Gemmells books:) They get better with each reading. I think id have to go with the first one i read that made me a fan which actually was 'Chronicle of Druss the Legend' loved finding out how Druss become the…
That would be awesome!! I would love to get an original copy but want to read the story even more:) Thanks for that dros. Drop me a line if they get back to you if you could.
In regard to the DG Grail, I know that Blackwells in the UK has one of the espresso machines in it and that they'll also be able to print out of print novels. I've enquired as to whether or not WKBS will be available but alas, have yet to hear back…
