This is the first David Gemmell I've read in over a decade, after enjoying the Troy series finished by his wife after his untimely passing.

It's not a new novel, but somehow I missed it in earlier searches for something, anything of his to read.

It's comforting and comfortable to read a Gemmell novel of fallen heroes and redeemed villains and powerful innocents. And while there is nothing unique or revolutionary here, it's still a fun and enjoyable ride for those of us who love Gemmell's characters.
