He was known as Druss. The Deathwalker. Though the blood of merciless butchers coursed through his veins, he had found a fragile peace through his love for beautiful, mystical Rowena. Then came the day when Druss returned to their village and found everyone dead--massacred by slavers who had stolen the women to sell for gold. Rowena was among the missing.Armed with only his powerful double-bladed ax, Snaga, Druss went after Rowena. His journey would carry him from the highest thrones of power to the deepest dungeons of depravity. Along the way, he would battle savage monsters and descend into terrifying lands of black magic and demons.
Yet one thing was certain. Druss would have victory . . . or death.

A truly remarkable piece of love, courage and redemption. Gemmell was a rare breed. One who wrote from his heart. Not his wallet - As I see too many writers are guilty of these days. All hail The Saviour of Skeln Pass!!!His ideas and plotlines will never be staggeringly original, but he also never wrote a book I didnt really like. This one is no different, with the icing on the cake being its Druss origin story! Every fan of Druss wonders what Skeln Pass really was like, and this is the book you get to witness it in. Another predictably great entry in the Drenai series.
It was an epic saga in the vien of the Greek Tragedy stories. It was a great heroic story thats not surprsing but it was so large in scope of Druss life,growth,struggles and in took only 300 odd pages. Thats a rare talent for this type of fantasy. The many great supporting characters was nice touch too.One of the best Gemmell book easily. Only Legend and Wolf in Shadow can compete with it.
Always a pleasure to read David Gemmell's stories.This is the first book that paves the road to his one of the iconic books "Legend", which I think is the first or one of first books he ever wrote.It covers a span of about 25 years and tells the story of how a young woodsman named Druss becomes known as "Druss the legend", among other names.To the point, precise and sometimes brutal style of David Gemmell takes you on a journey of an antisocial and awkward Druss in a quest across oceans and
3.5 StarsGemmell is certainly an author I will be looking more into. This book, although rather straightforward in plot, utilizes the elements I love most in this genre. I really wasn't a big fan of Druss for the first half of this book but he slowly started growing on me (perhaps not fully yet though). This book knows, as its author intended, exactly what it is and never tries to be or achieve anything else other than a - perhaps now clichéd - tale of heroism. I would highly recommend it,
I'm always tempted to give Gemmell a five star rating. I try to reserve the 5 but DG is among the best action/adventure writers I've run across. When he passed we lost a great talent.
I guess I had too high expectations on this one.It was good but not awesome. I really didn't like the time-hops. Beside that, I enjoyed it.
