Has any one read the above book,

i'm a hugh Gemmel fan, but am not so sure about his last one so if any one has read it please let me now what you think.

P.S totally useless fact about me,

In Gemmels first book legend there is a charter called Druss, big guy carrys an axe.

i helped Simon at Raven Armoury make the prototype for the axe that now hangs in Gemmels front room.

Sounds like a good project to be had.

I love the book.... but asides from this thread, have you got any pics of Snaga?? I would be very interested in seeing it.

Moving this to the Gemmel forum.

I must say that I have not read him yet - however I've been sufficiently intrigued by other posters here that one of his books is on my list of things to buy this month.

Lacedaemonian, any further thoughts on this particular book?

rgorsuch · 3rd June 2004, 03:07 PM

As to pictures of snaga, sorry no never crossed my mind when working on it, but if you want a good idea what it looks like i think it Druss the legend that has a picture of druss hold the axe.

knivesout · 3rd June 2004, 03:22 PM

Could you tell us more about the project of deisgning the axe? It certainly sounds interesting. Was it entirely based on the book, did you also interview Gemmel, perhaps do some weaponry research, and so on?

you might be giving me alittle to much credit there. Simon is the real armourer. All i really did was polish and work on the haft and pass him a lot of things, not to mention make the coffee.

As to speaking to any one i know that simon and david are old friends.

I wouldn't mind having a working copy of Snaga hanging above my fireplace...lol.

Hi im new i just want to tell you that you can get a good idea of what snaga looks like from the cover of legend which has a picture of it.

Lacedaemonian · 7th September 2004, 12:42 PM
