Interpretation Conducive To Books Dark Moon

The peaceful Eldarin were the last of three ancient races.  The mystical Oltor, healers and poets, had fallen before the dread power of the cruel and sadistic Daroth.  Yet in one awesome night the invincible Daroth had vanished from the face of the earth.  Gone were their cities, their armies, their terror.  The Great Northern Desert was their only legacy.  Not a trace remained for a thousand years...

The War of the Pearl had raged for seven years and the armies of the four Duchies were exhausted and weary of bloodshed.  But the foremost of the Dukes, Sirano of Romark, possessed the Eldarin Pearl and was determined to unravel its secrets.

Then, on one unforgetable day, a dark moon rose above the Great Northern Desert, and a black tidal wave swept across the land.  In moments the desert had vanished beneath lush fields and forests and a great city could be seen glittering in the morning sunlight.

From this city re-emerged the blood-hungry Daroth, powerful and immortal, immune to spear and sword.  They had only one desire:  to rid the world of humankind for ever.

Now the fate of the human race rests on the talents of three heroes:  Karis, warrior-woman and strategist; Tarantio, the deadliest swordsman of the age; and Duvodas the Healer, who will learn a terrible truth.

A new world of myth and magic, love and heroism, from the bestselling author of The Legend of Deathwalker.

Discuss Appertaining To Books Dark Moon

I cannot overstate the immense respect I have for David Gemmell's writing. Dark Moon carried me away to a fantastic world of peril and romance and desperate hope. The promise of wonder I experienced reading the Jon Shannow series is fully realized in this stand-alone fantasy epic.Because of the greed of a Duke, the Daroth, a uniquely horrific fantasy race, or pale immortal monsters have awoken. These immortals devour all they see, including the very spirit of the land. Swept up in the hasty



Meh. Can I say the writing was good but I didnt like the story? Most of the book revolves around death, violence, murder, and military tactics. Not your average happy ending fantasy tale.

3.5 Stars

I was given this book by a reader of my own work. It was a rather special present as the book was signed by David Gemmell "To Mark". Not to me, some other Mark, years earlier. But since DG is sadly no longer with us it's the closest I'll get to a dedicated book! I'm a big fan of Gemmell's work. This wasn't my favourite of his books but it has a lot to recommend it.To me it had a rather Moorcockian flavour to it, with strange non-human races introduced (three of them) and plenty of 'classic'

There's a huge amount of content squeezed in to the singular tome of Dark Moon. Other authors would have stretched this out in to a trilogy, however in Gemmell's deft hands an epic struggle for a survival is tidily contained between two covers. Every character has their own arc, ranging from the anti-hero with two souls, the Ice Queen tactician, the bard with a link to a dead race and the malevolent enemy with no fear. This wild range of characters should create disbelief yet the stampeding

David Gemmell is one of my favorite authors. I love his characters and their sense of right and wrong. I have one or two of his books that I still haven't read and I'm not looking forward to finishing them as, RIP, he's no longer with us to continue his terrific storytelling.
