I originally read this novel twenty-five years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it at the time.
I am glad to say that it is just as enjoyable, if not more so, to reread now.
The characters, especially Druss, are very well portrayed and are quickly imbued with a sense of individuality.
The story is engaging from start to finish and is one of those that you will find difficult to put down.
This is truly one of David Gemmell's best novels and all of them are good.
