Book Description:
Druss, Captain of the Axe, was the stuff of legends. But even as the stories grew in the telling, Druss himself grew older. He turned his back on his own legend and retreated to a mountain lair to await his old enemy, death. Meanwhile, barbarian hordes were on the march. Nothing could stand in their way. Druss reluctantly agreed to come out of retirement. But could even Druss live up to his own legends?

I like Legend, it's a good, heroic sword and sorcery story. I intend to read more of the books in The Drenai Saga.
The basic plot is that the Nadir empire is threatening to swallow up the Drenai kingdom. A lone castle stands in the way of the Nadir horde, can it stand up against the invaders and save the Drenai people? Coming out of retirement and to the defense of the castle is Druss, a legendary warrior.
The story takes a little bit to really get cooking and the end is a bit contrived but in between it is a real page-turner.

I liked this book very much. This was my introduction to David Gemmell and I was pleasantly surprised. Well written and it makes you feel like you are there.

Excellent heroic fantasy about a guy who was a legend in his prime and how he comes back for one big war when he is an old man.

This book is excellent! It was a great story, with great characters that you really care about. The war scenes in it a top notch and fast moving. There is only one tiny problem, the character, Rek, seems to go from loveable loser to hero very fast. Other than that this book is GREAT!
