Gemmell's best novel ever!
This is the first ever Gemmell book I read(I found it in my dads bookcase) and read it in 2 days. It is simply superb and a novel for others to aspire to. The plot is brilliant ,dark and fascinating, the characters are much more subtle than your everyday heroes and heroines. This book shows that heroes don't always ride white stallions and carry magic swords, a modern day classic. David Gemmell the king of fantasy.

WAYLANDER THE SLAYER
Waylander is one of the best books i have every read. It has everything in it from action to romance. After readign this book i bought waylander II straiht awaya nd i have just finished it and it is just as good as the first one.

If you are into war, fighting and fantasy then this book is for you. After you read Waylander you must read Waylander II.
I have just bought the 3rd book which should be another exellent read.

10/10 TOP READ

I loved this book!
I'm gradually working my way through all of Gemmell's books; I love this author! Waylander is wonderful, full of passion, drama, emotion, humour, etc. I love the way Gemmell develops his charactors - as ever - mourning their loss as I complete each book. In Waylander, Kai's story (Kai is a brief, but important charactor) had me sobbing! I'm hoping that he'll materialise again in Waylander 11 , because I desperately need him to find love and acceptance :)
I'm not sure if Waylander is an ideal first Gemmell to read, but I can't praise Gemmell's work highly enough! I've loved every one of his books so far!
