He was known as Druss. The Deathwalker. Though the blood of merciless butchers coursed through his veins, he had found a fragile peace through his love for beautiful, mystical Rowena. Then came the day when Druss returned to their village and found everyone dead--massacred by slavers who had stolen the women to sell for gold. Rowena was among the missing. Armed with only his powerful double-bladed ax, Snaga, Druss went after Rowena. His journey would carry him from the highest thrones of power to the deepest dungeons of depravity. Along the way, he would battle savage monsters and descend into terrifying lands of black magic and demons. Yet one thing was certain. Druss would have victory . . . or death.

Judge Regarding Books The First Chronicles of Druss the Legend (The Drenai Saga #6)

3.5...Gemmell has a gem with Druss. These Chronicles flesh out the character going from a youth working with his father up until the battle at Skeln Pass. Parts of this could have used more description, and I fear that Gemmell play-by-play of battle as it were leaves a little to be desired. The epitome of this was when Druss fells a giant demon bear in a manner of 5 sentences.

I guess I had too high expectations on this one.It was good but not awesome. I really didn't like the time-hops. Beside that, I enjoyed it.

8.5/10From all the heroes Gemmell wrote in his career (and he wrote many) I dont think I ever loved anyone more than Druss.I remember when I first read Legend (my 4th DG book), it really changed my perspective for Gemmells talent and what it truly meant for one to be a hero. Because Druss is not merely just a great hero; he is the ultimate hero, the one who steps in front to protect the others even if it is against him, the one who defies his enemies and all kind of evil. And this book, is the

I'm always tempted to give Gemmell a five star rating. I try to reserve the 5 but DG is among the best action/adventure writers I've run across. When he passed we lost a great talent.

In this saga, women are mostly helpless and passed from man to man, depending on other men to rescue them or marry them while the black characters are depicted as mainly cannon (ok, arrow and axe) fodder. In fact, to anyone who's read the kinds of imperialistic boy's adventure stories churned out by British writers during the late 1800s, the scene with the Panthians would have seemed quite familiar.
