Armageddon had visited the world 300 years earlier and it is within this post-apocolyptic nightmare that we are introduced to the Jerusalem Man, Jon Shannow.
The Lord of the Pit has taken Shannow's woman for blood sacrifice and the deadly warrior in now on their trail and intend on revenge.
David Gemmell once again gives us a fast-paced, action-packed adventure that is thankfully devoid of any unecessary narrative or world-building.
This is a great look into how Gemmell believes the world may look thousands of years in the future. It is not the science fiction vision of advanced technology and planet colonisation but a terrifying look at how the world could so easily return to barbarianism.
This style of fantasy is sadly not as popular as it once was. It is heavy on the action but never at the expense of the characters. David Gemmell gives you just enough information to make them real but does not go into such depths so as to leave the reader losing the all important storyline. Also, in Jon Shannow, Gemmell gives yet another fantastic hero to rival Druss and Waylander.
Straightforward, HUGELY enjoyable fantasy in which Gemmell gives us another cracking lead character.
