![]() All of them are wonderful stories masterfully crafted, but Legend remains my favourite of his works. ![]() Gemmell was an advocate of what he called “the spartan style of story-telling”, an approach which, in his own words, involved “keeping descriptive prose to a minimum, and making the reader work a little.” His novels are fast-paced and muscular his stories are told with high energy and a palpable passion which unerringly carries the reader onwards to the always thrilling conclusion.īefore his untimely death in 2006, Gemmell produced over thirty novels, encompassing fantasy, historical fiction and even a pseudonymous contemporary thriller. I was immediately captivated by Gemmell’s vigorous and succinct prose style, his dynamic and pacey narrative technique and the vividly compelling depictions of his characters. I first read David Gemmell’s debut novel Legend when I was fifteen years old. ![]()
