BOOK BLURB:The Legend Druss, Captain of the Axe: the stories of his life were told everywhere. Instead of the wealth and fame he could have claimed, he had chosen a mountain lair, high in the lonely country bordering on the clouds. There the grizzled old warrior kept company with snow leopards and awaited his old enemy death. The Fortress Mighty Dros Delnoch, protected by six outer walls, the only route by which an army could pass through the mountains. It was the stronghold of the Drenai empire. And now it was the last battleground, for all else had fallen before the Nadir hordes. And hope rested on the skills of that one old man...
REVIEW:
As a huge fan of David its been a great thing to see a 25th Anniversary Edition of this, his first book. Whilst this novel is a paperback it does fit in with David’s philosophy of keeping everything within the pocket range of all his fans rather than a select few. Some may grumble a little and will demand a Hardback edition yet its little touches like this that remind us all of the man we have lost.
Within the pages you get the classic telling of Legend which follows a daunty crew of misfits fighting for survival against the greatest army the world has ever seen, there’s exuberance and passion exhibited within and its clear to see why this novel still remains many fans favourite of all his tales to date. Add to the mix a forward by Stella (David’s Wife) to introduce the book to new readers as well as giving old hands a chance to get to know David better and it’s a great addition to any collection. With so many books on the market to chose from, make this a purchase for that fantasy fan in your life, they’ll soon pick up on the influence that David had on many others and clearly demonstrates the sad loss to the genre. May the Source keep shining for you Dave.
