Even in death, Skilgannon the Damned's name lives on. Now, as an ancient evil threatens to flood the Drenai heartlands in a tide of blood, he returns.... A thousand years after they fell in battle, two heroes - Druss and Skilgannon - are revered throughout the war-torn lands of the Drenai, where men and women live in abject fear of the dark sorceress known as the Eternal.... But what if the soul of one such hero could be called back from the void, his bones housed again in flesh?

The Drenai fortress of Dros Delnoch has fallen, and blood-hungry Nadir hordes sweep across the land, bringing desolation and despair. But with the Nadir triumphant, slavers seize a young girl in the tiny realm of Gothir, and a peasant boy steps off on a quest that will shake the world. To rescue her, Kiall must cross the savage steppes and journey through the Halls of Hell, facing ferocious beasts, deadly warriors and demons of the dark. But the boy is not alone. With him are the legendary heroes of Bel-Azar....

Publisher's Summary
The prophecy was clear. Upon the death of three kings, the world will be plunged into chaos, and all the castout demons of history will return to bring blood and horror to the world. Two of the kings are dead. The third, about to be born, is hunted by the Demon Riders of the Krayakin, Lords of the Undead.
All the terrifying forces of evil range against a pregnant queen at bay in a haunted forest. But she is not alone. Three warriors stand with her, the last remnants of the once proud Drenai army. Three old men, ancient heroes, discarded by the king: Nogusta the Swordsman, Kebra the Bowman, and the hulking fighter, Bison. The fate of empires rests on their fading skills as they journey through a tormented world on a perilous quest to save the unborn king.

Another Awesome bk by David Gemmel & Sean Barrett
About 6 wks ago I found David Gemmells "Legend" The story of Drugs the Deathwalker & have burned through the Drenia series @ a pace that saddens me cause I know it's drawing to an end. Everytime Iv read/listen to one of DG's bks voiced by the outstanding Sean Barrett (a top 3 narrator in my personel pantheon on narrators) I think of Nine Fingers & for those of you that know the genre that's high praise. So staying with that thought if you love the "Bloody Nine" don't wait, start with Legend & I'll meet you @ the end of the Drenia series. Yes, it's that good!

Wonderful characters
This is one of my favorite Gemmel book. The beginning is a bit slow but once the action starts, I love the cast of characters and how every detail is used to reach the end.
At the start, the story is aligned with the blurb : a demon prince and 3 old warriors to oppose him. What matters is the characters themselves and how they face both age and fear to confront the demon, not because they know they will win but because they have to !

A Man to Walk the Mountains
the more I listen/read of the late great Dave Gemmelll the more I realise just how amazing his work is.
I read everything he ever wrote When I was a young man, strong and in my prime. now a year off fifty I see everything he wrote in a different light. I was Confused, now I am Bison. still strong still young in my heart. life behind me when once before . I hope I fly above the mountains when it's my time.

Make Sure Your Deeds are Always Noble
The prophecy says that 3 kings must die; only then will the gateway be open for the Illohir to return from the Great Void. Two down and a newborn heir is left, guarded by 3 aged warriors who show that strength is not only limited to the young. They are flawed, but determined to protect the newborn.
When two demon brothers go to war with each other, things will not end well and the fallout for everyone will be devastating. However, Emsharas shows that, although he is no longer in demon form, he still has the strength to deal with Anharat.
This is slightly different from the previous Drenai books insofar as it concentrates on demons, magick and the void. It is also a standalone.
