Story
Druss, Captain of the Axe: the stories of his life were told everywhere. Instead of the wealth and fame he could have claimed, he had chosen a mountain lair, high in the lonely country bordering on the clouds. There the grizzled old warrior kept company with snow leopards and awaited his old enemy, death.

Story
The Knights of the Gabala were legendary protectors of the Nine Duchies - until they disappeared through a demon-haunted gateway between worlds. Manannan, the Coward Knight, held back. Now he lives in torment. Yet war is coming to the Duchies - and with it Manannan's chance for redemption. But to regain his honour and save his land, he will have to confront his deepest fear. He must ride through the gateway and seek out his lost companions in the unknown world beyond. And the secret he will learn there will tear his soul apart.

Story
A country in desperate need of heroes. Angostin invaders surge through the Highlands, laying waste to everything in their path. Darkness follows in their wake as a mad necromancer resurrects the eons-dead Vampyre Kings. Only the bandit Jarek Mace, and the magicker and bard Owen Odell, have the courage to fight the Angostins and the undead. Whispers soon spread that Mace is the legendary Morningstar, a saviour who will protect his country in its hour of need. Yet Mace seems nothing more than a thief and a liar.

Story
The peaceful Eldarin were the last of three ancient races. The mystical Oltor, healers and poets, had fallen before the dread power of the cruel and sadistic Daroth. Yet in one awesome night, the invincible Daroth had vanished from the face of the earth. Gone were their cities, their armies, their terror. The Great Northern Desert was their only legacy. Not a trace remained for a thousand years....

WOW my favourite Gemmell book/audiobook so far
after reading waylander who is one of my all time favourite science function characters, I thought I would not be able to endear myself to any other Gemmell further
I read/listen to everything in chronological order... not publication date order
enter Druss, a Hero to walk the mountains with
I am very sad that David Gemmell has passed away, but he is one of the best authors I have ever had the pleasure of reading.
A true hero of mine, his books has provided so much solace to me over the years.
I am never more content than the moment I finish the re reading of one of Mr Gemmells books again.
one of the greats, up there with Tolkien, Sanderson and Abercrombie in my personal top 4 favourite authors (obviously there are 1,000,000s of fantastic authors out there, but I am not as prolific a reader as I would like,
if anybody did not enjoy this audiobook they 100% should demand a refund, they can put the monies they receive from their refund towards their therapy sessions.

Gemmell knew how to write
However I found this book a bit rushed. A large timeframe is covered in a reasonably short period of time.
There were a lot of characters I had trouble keeping straight too.
I feel Waylander is probably the better character and series, but I’ve listened to six of David’s novels now, four fantasy and two crime. And I very much enjoy his style of writing. And Sean Barrett’s narration.
I plan to continue with Druss and also the Skillganon novels.
As an aside I always enjoy hearing from David himself, or when he was unable to provide his own voice, someone speaking on his behalf. His own story is interesting and he sounds like he was a fine man.

Druss is a legend
It’s been a longtime since I’ve read these books and I can remember why I liked them so much. The voice gives life to the characters and I enjoyed every part of it.

Exceptional.
Druss The Legend, IS my favourite book of all time. The man is awe inspiring, and the vision of what most men (should) aspire to be.
Strong, protective, loyal, a defender of the weak, a moral compass in a cruel and harsh world, afraid of no one or no thing, an utter daemon in combat. In many ways its a fantastic love story, but it is also tragically sad and there is no shame to have some tears welling in your eyes towards the end.
I found the narration a bit confusing at the start, the way Sean increases the tempo for fight scenes felt abit strange, but then he falls into a rhythm.
but what fallows is a great story of heroism, adventure and bravery.
5/5
