Waylander (f/k/a Dakeyras), an apparently heartless assassin, saves a peace-loving Source priest (Dardalion), who is being tortured by some ruffians. Each seems to benefit from the influence of the other as Waylander saves a women and her young charges, rediscovering his humanity along the way whereas Dardalion decides to take up the battle. Together, they help thwart the plans of Kaem to permanently rid the lands of the Drenai forever. Waylander then embarks on a hopeless mission to retrieve a symbolic set of bronze armor to help rally the Drenai. The book does not shy away from depicting the horrors of war and man at his worst (and best.) One of the best things about Gemmell's books is that the heroes, no matter how flawed, have doubts and fears. They aren't invincible and often they don't think they are heroes, they just do what they do to the best of their ability. This is the 3rd of the Drenai saga, which is my favorite of Gemmell's series. Desperate times call for desperate solutions and Waylander has to go on a quest. Great stuff, great characters. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

I'm reading the Drenai books in published order. I've previously read Gemmel's Rigante books and while these are generally simpler, can feel the building sophistication in the writing.
I was very slow in working out that this is chronologically the earliest book so far - did wonder about the Drenoch pass that was mentioned and why the Nadir weren't using it in Druss the Legend instead of having to attack the fortress at Drenoch.
Also vaguely wondered why they weren't calling the bronze armour by Egel's name as they did in earlier (but chronologically later) books. ( )
