Re: Best Fight in DG's books.

its not really a proper fisticuffs fight, but in the Lion of Macedon, at the generals games, when parmenion humbles leonidas.

yeah, i like that one...

Re: Best Fight in DG's books.

The best fight scene is when Jaim rescued Aunt Maev. I haven't read to many scenes that show both sides of the fight with such intense emotion...but then again, I may also think that because of the heroic romanticism DG writes so well in that specific fight.

Re: Best Fight in DG's books.

My favourtie are the ones containing Druss (axe cleaving throughbone, etc) and Morningstar, who I think was very realistic.

That was a great fight.

Yes the romantic heroism made it better. When you knew that Jaim knew what would happen if he went to save Maev but he didnt care one bit and wanted to sacrifice himself for her.

Thats the biggest reason Jaim is top three fav DG heroes.


I didnt know you were a Gemmell fan good to see that. You like only Rigante or have you read more of him

Re: Best Fight in DG's books.

TC just read my mind, The parts where Decado attacks so fast Padaxes can't read his mind fast enough, and where Rage kills that dude in like half a second.
