Rating:  - "Fantastic" what more can one say
I have just finished reading `Troy fall of kings` the third book in this trilogy & what an uptake on the Troy legend,all three books are absolutely brilliant. I would like to think that some day maybe Peter Jackson or another with his vision & imagination would make some David Gemmell heroic fantasy novels into films & give them the true accolade they deserve. The best heroic fantasy novel books I have ever read.
Rating:  - Superb swashbuckling adventure with a Greek setting
Although this is set in ancient Greece it could really be set in Drenai or any other of Gemmell's worlds as it reads very similar to those, which is no bad thing as no one does heroic fantasy better than Gemmell.
This book is full of action, violence and war-mongering, along with some very well written characters. Gemmell's heros are never whiter than white, they always have their own flaws, which makes them very believable. Another awesome book from Gemmell.
Rating: - Fantastic Read!
As with a number of other reviewers this was the first time I have read David Gemmell and it won't be the last. I enjoy historical fiction and this book is up there with the best. It is a great mix of awesome battles, romance, legend and humanity that leaves you unable to put it down. I read the last 250 pages on a transatlantic flight and couldn't wait to get volume two out of my suitcase when I got to my hotel room! If you enjoy Cornwell, Scarrow and Iggulden you will love this one.
Rating: - Almost flawlessly enjoyable
David Gemmell was a prolific and popular author of heroic fantasy, penning more than thirty novels (most of them well-receved) between the 1984 release of Legend and his death in the summer of 2006. His final project was The Troy Trilogy, an epic retelling of the Trojan War, its causes and consequences, marrying the likely historical reality of the conflict (now seen less as a story of doomed love and more the explosion of tensions building up over decades between the Greek cities and the Hittite ...

Rating: - Awesome read
Im new to David Gemmell but Ive been won over. I normally dont leave reviews but this one had me gushing. Lord of the Silver Bow is an awesome read - one that had me craving more. Im now reading the second book and im eagerly devouring every word. You have to pick this up - well worth every penny.
