May he walk in the Source.
Damn. He was my fallback whenever I had just finished a complex novel and I wanted just a quick easy read.
He’ll be missed.
That’s a startling picture of him. Looks kind of like a Mimbari.
Would it make me a philistine if I told you that I’d never heard of David Gemmell before I read the article you provided?
No. What would have given you that idea?
No he’s definitely the burger and fries of Heroic Fantasy. He’s worth a read if you’re ever in the mood for something light easy and obvious. Though if you pick up a Drenai novel go for the earlier ones the newer ones don’t just jump the shark they circle around to do it three or four times. coughclones and satellite dishes and other BScough
Now that you mention it…Creepy.
I will miss him. I have always enjoyed his books. Wow. 57. I never would have expected it. 
It’s a shame…57 is not really too old…
And I want him to complete the Troy triliogy. Sigh.
I only just heard, I am a big fan of his and have all his books. I just finished Shield of Thunder yesterday. Terrible news that there will be no more books from him. He tended to reuse themes and characters, but his books were always an enjoyable read that didn’t need any staying power to get through. Here’s hoping he made it to the Hall of Heroes.
Apparently his wife is finishing off the 3rd volume from what he’s already written and his notes. whether this is good or bad news …
