Ilustration Concering Books Waylander (The Drenai Saga #3)

All of Waylander's instincts had screamed at him to spurn the contract from Kaem the cruel, the killer of nations. But he had ignored them. He had made his kill. And even as he went to collect his gold, he knew that he had been betrayed.
Now the Dark Brotherhood and the hounds of chaos were hunting him, even as Kaem's armies waged war on the Drenai lands, intent on killing every man, woman, and child. The Drenai soldiers were doomed to ultimate defeat, and chaos would soon reign.
Then a strange old man told Waylander that the only way to turn the tide of battle would be for Waylander himself to retrieve the legendary Armor of Bronze from its hiding place deep within a shadow-haunted land. He would be hunted. He was certain to fail. But he must try, the old man commanded--commanded in the name of his son, the king, who had been slain by an assassin...
Waylander was the most unlikely of heroes--for he was a traitor, the Slayer who had killed the king...

Evaluation About Books Waylander (The Drenai Saga #3)

My second outing into the Drenai novels, the first being Legend. (mild spoiler)This book isn't without faults, one thing that struck me as lazy was how the main character is saved from an imminent death on two occasions by having earlier spared enemies he would have otherwise killed. Once was good, but using the same formula a second time fairly soon after the first lessened the impact somewhat. Though I should say that the second saviour soon became a favourite of mine. BUT!!!!!That and the

To be honest, I've read most of Gemmell's fantasy novels (most, if not all, of the Drenai tales and most of the Rigante series) but this was the first and favorite.For a while, I devoured Gemmell's stuff but soon I felt like I was reading the same novel over and over (and over and over) again. Waylander remains my favorite because I like the eponymous main character and the sentimental romantic in me thought the ending was exactly what he deserved (I will refrain from spoiling it).I'd recommend

To be remembered as just one of many in a series. Waylander * precedes Legend by scores of years, with references to the origins of Del Denoch, The Thirty and the Armour of Bronze. For these fan-pleasing references and the events in Waylander that precipitated these series landmarks, an extra half star for the rating. Stylistically, it was similar to my previous three Gemmells ** (so far), as were the types of characters. By that, expect artificial, contrived dialogue and sentimental awkwardness

My enemies can soar into the night like invisible demons, conjure wolf creatures from hell, and read minds. On our side is a god that can lead a man to a ferry! Waylander is chronologically the first novel in the Drenai series. It starts with the king having been assassinated, and ruthless enemy troops swarming into Drenai lands, massacring the natives. This could mean the end for the Drenai. Waylander walks these lands, a stone-hearted warrior, the assassin that killed the king. He is a man

Final rating: 4.5/5 starsI have read first two books in the series starting with publishing order, and i have to admit i was a bit confused at the world in this one because i didn't understand that it happens before Legend & The king beyond the gate until i figured it out by certain hints. (I thought all books happen years and years in the future, but this book proved me wrong.)Overall, this would be a first book in the series if started chronologically. But I wouldn't recommend starting
