HELP!!! - I've read every Gemmell book!

Gemmell is by far my favorite author. Please post other authors and series suggestions that are as good as David is. I've just finished reading every one of Gemmell's books and need some advice!

Thanks much!

I have read all of Gemmell's works except his new one. I have read virtually all of Feist too. Easy reads.

Thanks everyone! Much appreicated. I think I've read all of Feist and Hobb. I'll try your JV Jones suggestion.

Thanks Much!

Re: HELP!!! - I've read every Gemmell book!

Try these:
John Marco - Jackal of Nar, etc.
Terry Brooks - The Sword of Shannara, The Elfstones of Shannara, & The Wishsong of Shannara.
Terry Goodkind - Wizard's First Rule, The Stone of Tears, The Blood of the Fold - most of the others are not very good.
Stephen R. Donaldson - Thomas Covenant series and Mordant's Need duology.

Good luck.
Peace!

Why not?
His first trilogy - Sword, Elfstones, and Wishsong of Shannara - are fantastic. Every lover of fantasy should read those.
He's kind of running the series in the ground now, but those first three are classics!

I found Terry Brooks a Tolkien wanna be... it's like everything I read was a part of LOTR with the names changed.
