Very sad indeed.

Was my favourite author for a long time. No one else writes quite like him.

Ouch. I weep for the land of the Drenai.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Damn!

 

[Teflon Billy]

too sad

I loved most of his books.

57 seems awfully young.

 

[Nightfall]

Yeah man that really sucks! I loved Gemmell. He might have repeated some of the same material, but his characters were never dull in my mind.

 

[Boddha]

That sucks. I've always wanted to see Legend as a movie, but not without his input.
Damn, I love the Drenai novels. And Morningstar (which would also make a great movie).

 

[Eosin the Red]

El suckage.

We shared many hours lounging "in bed together" speaking of heroes and deeds done well. 57 is way too damn young.

A great voice in fantasy has passed. His Troy books were some of his best writing yet. Sadness to the world for his stories left untold.

 

[JRRNeiklot]

Damn. He was my favorite author, bar none. He will be missed.

 

[Aus_Snow]

Yes, sad news indeed.

57 is too young.

Go your way in peace.
