  # PRAISE FOR  
  DAVID GEMMELL
  
  
  
  
  
  “I can say of David Gemmell that he’s the only writer of historical fiction or
  heroic fantasy whose prose I actually study, line by line, trying to decode
  how he produces the effects that he does.”
  
  
  —STEVEN PRESSFIELD,  
  author of _Gates of Fire_ and _The Virtues of War_
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  “I am truly amazed at David Gemmell’s ability to focus his writer’s eye. His
  images are crisp and complete, a history lesson woven within the detailed
  tapestry of the highest adventure. Gemmell’s characters are no less complete,
  real men and women with qualities good and bad, placed in trying times and
  rising to heroism or falling victim to their own weaknesses.”
  
  
  —R. A. SALVATORE
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  “In the best sense of the word, you could say that Gemmell’s a brand; an
  assurance of passionate, cleanly written prose, imaginative plots, and, above
  all, terrific storytelling. For anyone who appreciates superior heroic
  fantasy, David Gemmell’s offerings are mandatory.”
