Presumably the last of the Jon Shannow novels, this book includes a fast-moving plot, plenty of characters (sometimes hard to remember who is who) and a lot of action, including a lot of death, shooting and injuries as well as a healthy mix of the supernatural and a wee bit of science-fiction. Proba...
David Gemmell books are all a bit similar although this one, the first part of a series, is possibly a bit better with fewer battles. The main character, Sigarni, a huntress, finds herself propelled into a position of importance as an enemy threatens the Highlands in which she lives. Mystical force...
This is the second book in the Jon Shannow series by David Gemmell, having read the first one many years ago. It deals with his search for Jerusalem in a post-apocalyptic era and is basically a Western (gunfighters, outlaws etc..) with beasts, Atlanteans from the distant past and some hint about wha...
I've read quite a few David Gemmell books and they're pretty much alike on the whole. I find that I enjoyed this one less than others that I've read. This revolves around Philip of Macedon, His son, Alexander and Parmenion, his Spartan general. This takes the Alexander the Great historical tale and...
Trzeci i czwarty tomy sagi Rigante rozgrywają się wiele wieków po wydarzeniach znanych z “Miecza w Burzy” i “Nocnego Sokoła”. Czasy Connavara i Bane’a są odległą przeszłością, bohaterowie ci są wręcz mityczni, o ich walkach, życiu, a nawet pochodzeniu krążą legendy. Świat Rigante zmienił się tak bar...
Długi czas zbierałem się, by sięgnąć po niewydane w naszym kraju powieści jednego z moich ulubionych pisarzy. Złośliwi mówią, że ten gość pisze wciąż jedną książkę, obiektywnie się z tym twierdzeniem nawet zgadzam, ale rzadko kiedy mi to przeszkadza w przyjemności czytania. David Gemmell faktycznie ...
Jest gorąco, przed wami długa podróż autobus a później pociągiem. Lekko licząc 6 godzin podróży. Plecak zapakowany do granic możliwości, bo tydzień w górach to nie wycieczka po pomidorki do warzywniaka. No ale książkę trzeba jakąś wziąć, nie ma przebacz. Problem jest taki, że obecnie czytana ksiażka...
Maybe if I didn't have so many other books to read, I'd settle down with this as it seems a generic fantasy tale about men and their staffs. Er, penises. Er, swords. But I'm sure there must be better stories told, with better characters and better writing.
A decent standalone fantasy from David Gemmell. The first two-thirds of the book seem slow, introducing characters and getting them to where they're meant to be, and the last third seems rushed as it moves to a fairly predictable conclusion.Despite that, the characters are interesting enough, althou...
After finishing Sword in the Storm I rushed out to get this second book in the series. It has a totally different feel to the previous one, but wasn't less enjoyable. I liked the story, but as with all tales that span a generation or two, the cycle of time does bring with it heartache and sorrow and...
