come to think about it ALL david gemmell's endings are unique
Totally agree Legend n Waylander aside, I love Lion of Macedon, although Dark Prince wasn't as good, I loved they young Parmenion.

Queat for Lost Hero's, is excellent also, for likeable varied characters.

Re: The Lion of Macedon

Its been a long time since I read Dark Prince and LOM but as I've never read a DG book I didn't like of course they are going to be good books, I always admired David's ability to show a famous story from a different POV

Re: The Lion of Macedon

LOM has always been a fav of mine, as you can see its where i got my online name from, by book store is called parmenion books, and an author i know recently put a character in his book called Parmenion.

I always wish that i could have seen what the origional book was like...as David wrote this as historical Fact/fiction origionaly, but the publisher told him they would not publish it under his name...unless he made it a fantasy novel...and thats why we have dark prince..and also why alot of people find Dark prince the weaker of the 2 books and why it has such a ..stunted end.

Re: The Lion of Macedon

I wasn't so keen on Dark Prince, it was a bit of a let down after the great beginning in Lion of Macedon. I wasn't overly fond of the ending of LOM where Parmenion met the 300 of Thermopolyea. That aside it probably is one of my favourite DG books.
