About this ebook

“David Gemmell tells a tale of very real adventure, the stuff of true epic fantasy.”—R. A. Salvatore

Druss, Captain of the Ax, is the stuff of legends. Tales of his battles are told throughout the land, and the stories expand with each telling. But Druss himself grows older, until finally, the warrior turns his back on glory and retreats to his mountain lair. There he awaits his old enemy: death. 

But far below, the barbarian Nadir hordes are on the march. 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 inspire a new generation of warriors. He is Druss the Legend.

Thus begins David Gemmell’s most celebrated novel—an unrivaled classic of mythic heroism and magnificent adventure. . . .

Excellent book. First Gemmell book I've read -- I already had bought books 2 ; 3, before I finished legend. comes at a perfect time, cuz I've been looking for someone new, who's catalogue I can crush for a while. I def believe I've found my guy! dynamite characters building and he allows you to figure some things out about the characters, without dumbing it down or seeming like the easy way out!

Enjoyed. Never lost my attention, at the end of the story I wanted more. Hope to see the story continue. Meantime I will be reading his other stories. I'm hooked.

One of my favorite books by my absolute favorite author. I have not read any book by Mr. Gemmell that was anything short of epic. R.I.P. David Gemmell, you are sorely missed sir.
