Recensione

"On the surface, David Gemmell's Hero In the Shadows has everything a fan of heroic fantasy could desire:  dramatic heroes, an exotic sorceress, deep evil, mood-drenched settings, an array of likeable characters, and a well-designed plot.  But the book also has something more, a quality which raises Gemmell's achievement to a much higher level: an empathetic and convincing grasp on the complexities and conflicts of real human beings.  As a result, Hero In the Shadows has true power and poignancy."
--STEPHEN R. DONALDSON
Author of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever

"Gemmell's great reading; the action never lets up; he's several rungs above the good--right into the fabulous!"
--ANNE MCCAFFREY

"Gemmell . . . keeps the mythic currents crackling."
--Publishers Weekly

"[Gemmell] examines our assumptions about good, evil, and the nature of quests."
--Locus

"David Gemmell tells a tale of very real adventure, the stuff of true epic fantasy."
--R. A. SALVATORE

L'autore

David Gemmell was born in London, England, in the summer of 1948. Expelled from school at sixteen, he became a bouncer by night, working nightclubs in Soho. Born with a silver tongue, Gemmell rarely needed to bounce customers, relying on his gift of gab to talk his way out of trouble. This talent eventually led to a job as freelancer for the London Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, and Daily Express. His first novel, Legend, was published in 1984 and has remained in print ever since. He became a full-time writer in 1986.
