I have been reflecting on the irony of it. My only complaint about his earlier work, as I was saying to Cllr, was that he seemed to cut the stories short suddenly. If I remember rightly in his very first work the whole Nadir campain came to an end with Ulrics untimely death. Now we have David Gemmel himself cut short while working on his last book:-( I still have the second of the Troy series on order. It is due out Sept. 1st. I wonder if anyone will ever piece together what there was of the third and publish it.
