The Great Bear will descend from the skies and with his paw lash at the ocean. He will devour all the works of Man. Then he will sleep for 10,000 years, and the breath of his sleep will be death. The prophecy had come true. The world spun. Tidal waves lashed the planet, and a new ice age dawned. The few survivors of a once-great empire struggled to rebuild. Then two moons appeared in the skies, unleashing a terrible evil that threatened not only the new empire but the survival of the world itself.

After the bloody battle of Colden Moor, the warlike highlanders had lost their independence. They lived in surly subservience to the Outlanders, and only a teenage girl survived to represent the line of kings: Sigarni. Sigarni the silver-haired. Huntress, whore, princess. All of these she was called. But those who pierce the veil of the future knew that a leader was coming to the North - a leader descended from Ironhand, mightiest of the highland kings.

For the first time as an Orbit special edition, Brent Weeks's blockbuster novella Perfect Shadow tells the origin story of the Night Angel trilogy's most enigmatic character: Durzo Blint. Gaelan Starfire is a farmer, happy to be a husband and a father; a careful, quiet, simple man. He's also an immortal, peerless in the arts of war. Over the centuries, he's worn many faces to hide his gift, but he is a man ill-fit for obscurity, and all too often he's become a hero, his very names passing into legend.

When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent Melniboné, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique hero: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the '60s into one enduring archetype.

Gemmel and Barrett = Excellent
I started reading Gemmel' s work in the mid 80's and I've been reading him ever since! Over the years, I developed Druss's voice in my head. Rough but warm with friends. Cold as ice grating with enemies. Loving with Rowena. Sean Barrett slipped into my thoughts and borrowed that voice. A perfect combination of author and narrator!

Simply Fantastic
David Gemmell is (was) a master story teller. The mystical elements are wonderfully balanced as a backdrop for the deeper human story. Lovers of Joe Ambercrombie will enjoy Gemmell’s work completely. His style is the perfect balance of deeply entertaining lore and approachable stand alone adventure tales.
In terms of narration- there are few voice actors I love more than Sean Barrett. The texture of his voice is wonderful, and his performance feels effortless and conversational; as if your listening to an old friend.
The post script notes to the reader that Gemmell included were such a lovely personal touch. All together, his body of work shouldn’t be missed for fantasy fans. I’m shocked it took me so long to find him, but I’m so happy I did.

Disappointed
I really enjoyed the book and the performance from Sean Barrett. I really enjoyed the beginning and end of the book however disliked the middle about him and rowona, it felt like a huge let down as there were so many different and more interesting ways to go then the old cliche. The book is still excellent though the middle of it killed a lot of it for me.

A Brilliant and engaging story
If you've listened to Legend you know what Druss did to become legendary. This story, The First Chronicles, tells you how he did it. The characters are dynamic and entertaining while also being thoughtful. Having the poet be a kind of comic relief to Drusse’s gruff personality was my favorite part. It's a great book!

Excellent story and narration
DG never fails to enthrall and entertain although with some novels the narration is a serious distraction particularly the female series - but this is not an issue with this story which is allowed to breathe and charm without lame accents or unconvincing mannerisms. I wish all of the books were done by this narrator

Best ever listen
Legend is brilliant, The Chronicles of Druss surpasses it in my opinion, this has to be the best book I've ever listened to. I've read all of David Gemmell's books and proudly own a considerable amount of first editions signed by the great author but nothing compares to the exhilarating life Sean Barrett brings in his reading of them. I am blown away by the listening experience. I will be buying them all. Highly recommended, I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed.

Brilliant
I have read all the David Gemell books and i have been hoping they would appear on Audible. This is s great story, but Waylander was chronologically the first story, that said, this is a great introduction to Druss. Superb.

Swordplay, sorcery and sieges galore!
This is a classic book from my childhood which I was extremely happy to finally find on audible. Looking forward to delving back into the great Gemmell catalogue.

WOW my favourite Gemmell book/audiobook so far
after reading waylander who is one of my all time favourite science function characters, I thought I would not be able to endear myself to any other Gemmell further
I read/listen to everything in chronological order... not publication date order
enter Druss, a Hero to walk the mountains with
I am very sad that David Gemmell has passed away, but he is one of the best authors I have ever had the pleasure of reading.
A true hero of mine, his books has provided so much solace to me over the years.
I am never more content than the moment I finish the re reading of one of Mr Gemmells books again.
one of the greats, up there with Tolkien, Sanderson and Abercrombie in my personal top 4 favourite authors (obviously there are 1,000,000s of fantastic authors out there, but I am not as prolific a reader as I would like,
if anybody did not enjoy this audiobook they 100% should demand a refund, they can put the monies they receive from their refund towards their therapy sessions.

Druss is a legend
It’s been a longtime since I’ve read these books and I can remember why I liked them so much. The voice gives life to the characters and I enjoyed every part of it.

Exceptional.
Druss The Legend, IS my favourite book of all time. The man is awe inspiring, and the vision of what most men (should) aspire to be.
Strong, protective, loyal, a defender of the weak, a moral compass in a cruel and harsh world, afraid of no one or no thing, an utter daemon in combat. In many ways its a fantastic love story, but it is also tragically sad and there is no shame to have some tears welling in your eyes towards the end.
I found the narration a bit confusing at the start, the way Sean increases the tempo for fight scenes felt abit strange, but then he falls into a rhythm.
but what fallows is a great story of heroism, adventure and bravery.
5/5

Sean Barrett's voice is perfect for Druss, and all Gemmell characters. beautiful tone, pace and expression, drags you into the story and holds on!

Druss is a nonchalant character that always gets sucked into fighting at which he is very good at

Fantastic story and masterfully read by Sean Barrett. Sean should be the official Gemell narrator
