11 Gründe, die für sich sprechen!, 9. Oktober 2008
THE QUEST: "Druss, the dark axman known as the Deathwalker must join the warrior Talisman on a mission of blood and glory."
CHARAKTERE: "It strucks him that Druss was the human embodiment of this ancient fortress, unbeaten yet eroded by time, less than he was but magnificent for all that."
ERLESENE SPRACHE: "Pellin smiled as he remembered the Nadir herald giving Druss the ultimatum to surrender. The old hero had laughed. "In the north", he had said, "the mountains may tremble when Ulric breaks wind. But this is Drenai land, and to me is just another potbellied savage who couldn't wipe his a** without a Drenai map tattooed on his thigh."
WAHRE FREUNDSCHAFT: "Why are you going with him? It would be fine if he could say "Because he is my friend." Sieben hoped there was at least a semblance of truth in that. The reality, however, was altogether different. "I need to feel alive," he said aloud."
HUMOR: "I have purchased the two mounts", said Sieben, "a fine thorough-bred for myself and cart horse for you. Since you ride with all the grace of a sack of carrots, I thought it would be fitting."
VERNUNFT: "...and Nuang did a deep breath, ready to order his man to the attack. As he did so, he looked at the axman and found himself staring into the coldest eyes he had ever seen, the colour of winter storm clouds, gray and unyielding. A nagging doubt struck him, and he...."
ZEITLOSE WAHRHEITEN: "We all have ou skills. Yours is with that appalling weapon; mine is lovemaking. - Aye, agreed Druss, but it seems to me my weapon ends problems. Yours causes them."
PHILOSOPHIE: "The greatest evil we can perpetrate is to make someone else evil. The besieging army you speaks of is actually saying: "Unless you commit a small evil act, we will commit a great one. The heroic answer would naturally be to refuse..."
LIEBE: "Why do you search, lord? Is there no paradise for you? - What paradise could there be without Shul-sen. Death I could bear, but not this parting of souls. I will find her though it takes a dozen eternities."
KRIEG: "There was only one real enemy in all the world, he knew: hatred. All evil was born of that vile emotion. Immortal, eternal, it swept through the hearts of men every generation."
& Ehre: "But my father told me never to be part of anything that lacked honor. He once said to me that there was no greater satisfaction for a man that to be able to look in the mirror while shaving and be proud of what he saw."
Fazit: Lesen! Wem die Zitate nicht aussagekräftig genug gewesen waren (völlig unmöglich), sollte sie sich gleich noch ein zweites Mal durchlesen und wenn dann immer noch nicht die Einsicht gekommen ist, darf gern per Kommentar nachgefragt werden. ;)

Another Excellent Read!!!, 14. August 1999
Another great addition to the world of the Drenai and the adventures of Druss the Legend. This time Druss travels through the lands of the Gothir and the Nadir. The early history of the Nadir, the origin of the Uniter and the driving force behind these people that makes them into the deadly barbarian hordes of the earlier books is revealed. The excellent characters and fast-paced adventure that you expect from Gemmell are back. Highly recommended!

A Seamless Blend of Characterization and Drenai History, 14. Juni 1999
Von Ein Kunde
Gemmell does an exquisite job in showing the reader just what makes his characters do what they do; be it through their personal experiences, beliefs or ambitions. Through the characters a reader is given the history of the rise and fall of several nations and people's of his Drenai saga. These histories, the Drenai, the Nadir, the Chiatze, and the Gothir, are woven through the experiences and exploits of the book's characters. Gemmell expertly does this while never losing focus on the making of the Legend: Druss the Deathwalker. Gemmell uses snippets of other minor events, such as the Mad God-King and the rise of Garen Tsen, only as much as to give context to the story rather than taking up the spotlight of events. True to his style these things fall by the wayside... not meaning they were unimportant to Drenai history, just that they were not important to the current tale. The reader is in for a treat in learning of the Nadir, the origin of their name and from which peoples they are descended from. Those who know history can draw the parallels to our own. Those who enjoy character development will find it in Druss, his companion Sieben, whom Gemmell fans will remember fell at Skeln, and the Nadir Talisman. Readers will want to pay particular attention to the Chiatze woman Talisman travels with as her knowledge and history shows what interest her people have in the rise of the Nadir. All in all, I believe readers will enjoy the mix of Characterization and developed history of Gemmell's Novel. Those well-read in Gemmell's stories can also enjoy the continuity he has woven into the tale as they tie into future events of the Drenai and Nadir peoples.
