Druss, Captain of the Axe: the stories of his life were told everywhere. Instead of the wealth and fame he could have claimed, he had chosen a mountain lair, high in the lonely country bordering on the clouds. There the grizzled old warrior kept company with snow leopards and awaited his old enemy, death.

At long last - and as great as I hoped!

Legend was the book that first grabbed my imagination for this genre when I was a lot, lot younger. Having read all the Gemmell books multiple times and being addicted to Audible for the last few years I had hoped to find Gemmell being available....now they are!
The Audible version of Legend is brilliant. A great story with rounded, flawed but inspiring characters that once again immersed me in my favourite book by giving me another way in which to enjoy my favourite book.
Thank you!

Awful narration spoils story
Reviewed: 12-06-15
Love the previous series. This one starts slow with hints of storyline but doesn't seem to go anywhere in comparison to assassins an tawny man series.
I found the narration dull and uninspiring which exasperated the slow story to the extent that I won't be purchasing part 2, unless suffering from insomnia! Lee Maxwell-Simpson ruined one of my favourites and sounds like he is drifting to sleep himself. Pace and lack of narrator personality makes previously fascinating characters seem insipid.
Hugely disappointing and waste of a credit!
