Summary

Druss. The Legend. Saviour of Skeln Pass. Protector of Dros Delnoch. The most famous - and dreaded - of Drenai's heroes.

But before all men knew Druss, he was a young husband, hewing tress instead of men - most of the time - and held in check by his beloved wife, Rowena. When she is stolen by slavers, Druss becomes a killing machine intent on only one thing: Rowena's return.

the first book I ever read and still my favourite.

when I found out David Gemmell had passed it was a very sad moment in my life because there is no other writer like him. if you haven't reading this book would open your eyes to what heroic fantasy is really about.

The origin of the legend.

Despite already knowing the outline of the story from 'Legend' it's fascinating to hear the details of the saga of Druss and how he achieved the hero status he enjoyed in the previous stories.
A well crafted tale which could have been formulaic but avoids the major pitfalls to end up entertaining.
Well worth the time to listen.

A fantastic book.

If you're a fan of Gemmell then this is for you! A wonderful book. I first read these as a teenager and they have lost none of their engaging prowess over time.

Druss at his bone crunching, indomitable finest

Read these books years ago. It in someways highlights the short coming of audio over actually reading and living the adventure yourself. Maybe some forms of narration work better in audio books than others. But still a very enjoyable listen. I will continue to march through the series.
