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...

Enjoyed it immensely.

I'm reading the Drenai books in published order. I've previously read Gemmel's Rigante books and while these are generally simpler, can feel the building sophistication in the writing.

I was very slow in working out that this is chronologically the earliest book so far - did wonder about the Drenoch pass that was mentioned and why the Nadir weren't using it in Druss the Legend instead of having to attack the fortress at Drenoch.
Also vaguely wondered why they weren't calling the bronze armour by Egel's name as they did in earlier (but chronologically later) books. ( )

My favorite so far in the Drenai saga…. ( )

Waylander (f/k/a Dakeyras), an apparently heartless assassin, saves a peace-loving Source priest (Dardalion), who is being tortured by some ruffians. Each seems to benefit from the influence of the other as Waylander saves a women and her young charges, rediscovering his humanity along the way whereas Dardalion decides to take up the battle. Together, they help thwart the plans of Kaem to permanently rid the lands of the Drenai forever. Waylander then embarks on a hopeless mission to retrieve a symbolic set of bronze armor to help rally the Drenai. The book does not shy away from depicting the horrors of war and man at his worst (and best.) ( )

A 'heroic fantasy' novel, but one in which the characters' psychologies and philosophies are more important than the plot and events - at least if that's the way you prefer to read it. ( )

One of the best things about Gemmell's books is that the heroes, no matter how flawed, have doubts and fears. They aren't invincible and often they don't think they are heroes, they just do what they do to the best of their ability. This is the 3rd of the Drenai saga, which is my favorite of Gemmell's series. Desperate times call for desperate solutions and Waylander has to go on a quest. Great stuff, great characters. ( )
