:mad: I'm really pissed off at all you people, Gemmell has just released a new book in the Rigante series ( Probally one of the top 3 series out there) , why the hell isnt anyone talking about it? I'm really ashamed that you all cal your self fantasy readers! :eek:

David who?

;)

He is a fine writer, and I do have quite a few of his books... he is a 'battle master' without equal. I know of 2 Rigante books I need to get, books 3 and 4 (cannot remember the titles offhand)...

Now... he has a new book... so tell us about it

[Ingram]

Book 3 - Ravenheart

Book 4 - Stormrider ( The I'm talking about )

I hav'nt finished it yet, and its no point me explaining it to you you untill you at least start Ravenheart, :P

(One other thing)

Why doesnt my sig work?

[Qin]

Sig options aren't activated.

Never saw anything about Gemmel that made me scream to read it. But then, I've learned to be careful with best-selling writers.

[Ingram]

so no ones sig works, ok....


The new book, ravenheart, is ok, not his best but it does delve deeper into the moidats life, he is so cool :D

Easy there big fella' Gemmell does get mentioned here from time to time, I seem to recall a Rigante oriented thread a week or two back.

As for the new Rigante books Ravenheart was pretty decent, though, from what I can tell, it was really only the first half of the story that Stormrider concludes, so I'll probably reserve judgement somewhat until I have read Stormrider, which is sitting on my shelf and waiting to be read once I've finshed Sara Douglass' Crucible trilogy. I'm looking forward to it in any case.

I enjoyed Knights of Dark Reknown (partly because I was young at the time and into vampires, and partly because of the downer ending) but it seems like most of DG's books are identical.

I just can't face reading another story about a bunch of past-their-prime warriors who have to get together and battle evil/age one last time.

It's a long time since I've read any of DG's stuff though. Perhaps he's moved on since that phase. I think Gemmel is a decent enough writer, he just needs to take more risks.

[Cannon Fodder]

Ermm..... Not that I can remember, no, there was no vampires at all if my memory serve's me correctly.

But there were in Morningstar
