Morningstar - David Gemmell

Premium Review Let the Morningstar Light up your Life! (900 words)
by English Lady - written on 27/10/05 (Very useful, 105 readings)
Rating:

Owen Odell is a travelling bard, he is a brave man, but not a skilled one, so when he steps in to stop several ruffians from raping a young girl, it is fate or fortune that Jarek Mace jumps in to kill the attackers and save Owens life. Thus starts the legend of Morningstar, the peoples hero. A morningstar is an evil, ball shaped weapon on a chain. The ball has lots of nasty spikes sticking out of it, and if you get cracked round the head with one of'em, you're off to meet your maker quick sharp! Also it is the last star in the sky before dawn, the one that sees off the dark of night and beckons on the daylight. After an impressive rescue of a friend, Owen, Mace and ...

Hero in the Shadows - David Gemmell

Premium Review The Greatest Assassin In History Vs The Man That Cannot Die. (911 words)
by joecooper - written on 02/02/03 (Very useful, 160 readings)
Rating:

a similar occurrence of big names that you come to know and love from their past efforts. Most fantasy aficionados would agree the big names include Robert Jordan, Raymond Feist, David Eddings, and George R. R. Martin. To this list I wish to add David Gemmell. Everything I've read of this bloke's has been an absolute snorter, including Hero In The Shadows. Unlike most of the big time fantasy authors, Gemmell isn't an exponent of epic fantasy. This is best illustrated by a lack of the obligatory map at the front of the book. Instead, Gemmell is a master of heroic fantasy. Every book I've read of his revolves around a central immensely heroic figure, ...
