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.

Damn!

too sad

I loved most of his books.

57 seems awfully young.

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.

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).

El suckage.

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

David Gemell

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.
