Editorial Review:
He was known as Druss. The Deathwalker. Though the blood of merciless butchers coursed through his veins, he had found a fragile peace through his love for beautiful, mystical Rowena. Then came the day when Druss returned to their village and found everyone dead--massacred by slavers who had stolen the women to sell for gold. Rowena was among the missing.Armed with only his powerful double-bladed ax, Snaga, Druss went after Rowena. His journey would carry him from the highest thrones of power to the deepest dungeons of depravity. Along the way, he would battle savage monsters and descend into terrifying lands of black magic and demons. Yet one thing was certain. Druss would have victory . . . or death.

Rating:  - Druss is to fantasy, what John Wayne was to Western movies
The First Chronicle of Druss the Legend is the 6th book in David Gemmell's non-sequential series, the Drenai Saga. It's a prequel to the 1st Drenai book; Legend, and I think it's the perfect prequel because it actually enhances his Druss stories by not being in chronological order.
Renegade soldiers turned slavers massacre a mountain village and take Druss's wife, the seeress, Rowena. Desperate and enraged the young country bumpkin takes up a battle-ax, inherited from his infamous grandfather, ... Read More
Rating:  - Super Reader
The beginning of the story of the Silver Slayer. Details of Druss' warrior father, and his search for his wife Rowena, who has been kidnapped by slavers.
This event turns a mountain woodsman into the most fearsome warrior the Drenai have seen, as he holds the line at Skeln pass with his friend Sieben, and the help of the Thirty.
It also details the development of his iron cide, the Way, and the influence a couple of teachers had on his skills and philosophy.
Very good ... Read More
Rating: - The Origin of the Legend!
Druss the Axeman, the Captain of the Axe, the Silver Slayer, Deathwalker, these are the names legend has given him. Druss the Legend is an indomitable warrior, armed with the great battle axe, Snaga. Snaga the Sender, the Blades of No Return, an axe possessed by a demon that gives it the power to cut anything and makes the wielder almost unbeatable.
The first book telling of Druss was called Legend. It told of Druss in his sixties, called to defend his homeland against an invasion of barbarian ... Read More
Rating: - Classis Gemmell - The begining of the Legend
The First Chronicles of Druss the Legend by Davvid Gemmell is the 6th book in the Drenai Tales. While this book is part of the larger Drenai saga it is also a prelude to Mr. DdGemmell's first Drenai book titled Legend. In Legend, Mr. Gemmell tells the tale of a long retired hero coming back for one more go at it. In this book Mr. Gemmell tells `some' of the tale leading up to the creation of the legend that is Druss.
Fans of Mr. Gemmell's previous work, particularly Legend, will be immediately ... Read More
Rating:  - Better Left Unexplored
The First Chronicles of Druss the Legend gives readers a detailed look at the history of David Gemmell's most popular character. Unfortunately, I think we may have been better off not knowing Druss's history.
Gemmell created such a powerful character in Druss, and his role in the book Legend was just incredible. Indeed, the book itself became a Legend to Gemmell's readers. The legendary warrior comes out of retirement to make a final stand for his country against an invading horde. This is epic ... Read More
