I’ve read Druss The Legend, be buggered if I can remember absolutely anything about it though.
I swear to god I’m not having a go here but how come everyone is bothered about this bloke? Nothing against David Gemmell at all but Kurt Vonnegut died recently and that bloke was an absolute genius and no-one here even mentioned it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(and again for added effect)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*edit*
Actually, I do have a vague recollection of a story about some bloke with a big axe helping to defend some walls from these blokes who were stylised on the mongols, think that might have been it.@sickofitall wrote:

you just gave away the plot to 50% of gemmels books.. it is when he moves away from this formula that the genius shines through
Pah! Vonnegut wasn’t a genius. I think Kilgore Trout was as not only did he write sci fi, he was also the hero in most of Vonneguts books. Now that’s pretty good going. I’d have more respect for a writer like Salman Rushdie if he turned up in a few Harry Potter books:
Just then Salman span around as a Voldemort materialised out of the black smoke, the evil magician levelled a bony finger at the dashing writer.
“At last we meet Rushdie!” Spat the twisted figure “But I fear we shall never meet again!”
“Kneeicus bollocus” Chanted the handsome playwright and kneed the evil wizard squarely in the crown jewels.
“Christ! Me knackers!” Groaned Voldemort as he crumpled to the floor.@=XDC=NeonSamurai wrote:

Salman Rushdie is actually in all the Harry Potter books Neon.
You wouldn’t notice him though.
He’s hiding.
Ooo oo is it like this game?
Think I’d rather look for Salmans wife to be honest..
And yes that is his wife!
