David Gemmel apparently died this morning in his home, a week after having major heart surgery. I did not read Gemmel widely, but what I did read (the Drus books) I enjoyed. More and more the good reads of my youth are becoming more poignant... 8(

That sucks. I really liked his earlier stuff, but most of his recent works I either passed on or glossed over. Legend is still one of my favourite works of all time.

I own both of the "Lion Of Macedon" books, but I haven't read them. I notice that there's a new one just out in paperback as well called Soldier Of Troy or something? I thought about picking that up, but I didn't; don't know if I will now, as I don't necessarily want to get into a series that may not end.
