Just finished reading David Gemmell's Trojan War Trilogy (now that its finally out in paperback) Wow. What can I say? David is simply the greatest author I have ever had the pleasure to read. I know a lot of people view his works as maybe too 'simplistic' , but I like to think his books are aimed at the heart and not the head. I've never read any other author than can move me like Gemmell. I was a bit reluctant to pick up Fall of Kings, the final book, as David died after only writing about 70-80 000 words and his wife Stella, a novice author, finished it. But I'm glad I did. A simply superb take on the Trojan war. I can read DG's books over and over, and I can't wait until I re-read this trilogy. Stella has done herself, and David proud.
