Interpretation In Favor Of Books Echoes of the Great Song

“A HUMDINGER . . . A MASTERLY TALE TOLD WITH CLARITY AND VERVE.”
–The Times (London)

The Avatars are immortal and live like kings–even though the empire is dying. Their immortality is guaranteed by magic crystals whose influence is now waning, overwhelmed by the sheer power of a great flood and a sudden ice age. But when two moons appear in the sky, and the ruthless armies of the Crystal Queen swarm across the land bringing devastation and terror, the Avatars unite with their subjects to protect their universe.

As the cities face imminent destruction, three heroes emerge. Talaban, a warrior haunted by tragedy; Touchstone, the mystic tribesman seeking his lost love; and Anu, the Holy One, the Builder of Time. And when all seems lost, two others enter the fray: Sofarita, the peasant girl who will inspire a legend, and the madman, Viruk, who will become a god. . . .

Notice Based On Books Echoes of the Great Song

Standard opinion I have of one of David Gemmell's books, once again I loved it. Really enjoyed the world, wish it wasn't a stand-alone! Loved the characters as always too!

One of the first books by Gemmell I ever read and we'll worth the re-visiting. A seemingly clichě fantasy novel that subtly touches on some interesting socio-political views. A great read and one of Gemmell's really solid outings.

Amazing writting i really felt for the poeple in the story thier struggles their fights .My fav guy was Real that man was great

Typical Gemmell: triumphing against the odds, unexpected heroics redeeming characters, breathtaking action, and lots of twisting and turning. Negatively, as someone who is enamoured with Drenai, Rigante, and the Troy trilogy I haven't been convinced by the parallel universes of Gemmell's other works

Not your typical Gemmell, but still a good read.

I struggled so hard to get through this book. I found it dull and difficult to get into. There was lots of violence and battle and killing and I didn't click with any of the characters.I'm really glad I read the book as Gemmell is a fantasy legend so I've ticked him off the list. Fans of pyramids, powerful beings that ruled the Earth before humans and military strategy enthusiasts will love this

c1997 (5) FWFTB: Avatars, tribesman, sacrificed, crystal, arcane. Not a particularly joyous story. The only character that I really liked was the madman Viruk who must have been great fun to write. It was pacy with succinct world building. There is a definite 'enemy' in the book but as far as the protagonists are concerned - its the age old question of a good person doing bad things or a bad person doing good things - not particularly original, but an enjoyable read. Would recommend to the
