Summary

The Legend

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.

The Fortress

Mighty Dros Delnoch, protected by six outer walls, the only route by which an army could pass through the mountains. It was the stronghold of the Drenai Empire. And now it was the last battleground, for all else had fallen before the Nadir hordes.

And hope rested on the skills of that one old man....

Brilliant

One of my favourite books of all time. Sean Barrett does his usual great job with the narration.

At last Legend is here.

A simple but engaging story, brilliantly read by Sean Barrett. His voice as Druss is damn near perfect. So pleased that Legend and the other Drenai books are finally on Audible. RIP David Gemmell.

One of my childhood favourites

I’m ecstatic that this series has finally been made into audiobooks , Legend is a childhood favourite of mine that I’ve read countless times and thoroughly enjoyed it being read to me by Sean Barrett. A fantastic book narrated superbly and I’m glad this (until now, dying) series is available in this format to attract new fans and to enjoy a renewed love from old fans alike.

Listening to an old favourite.

I first read this when I was a teenager and listened to it again decades later. I still love it.

Amazing every time

As a Gemmell fan since the 80’s, this story to read or listen to is an absolute pleasure. The characters are so vivid that midway through they’re like old friends

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!
