Legends
About:
'Legends' is a collection of short stories by various authors, paying tribute to the late David Gemmell. The book features a mix of authors, some well-known and others lesser-known, showcasing a variety of fantasy genres and writing styles. While some readers found the stories to be engaging and enjoyable, others felt that they lacked the essence of Gemmell's work, with only a few tales closely resembling his signature style.
The book offers readers a diverse selection of stories, ranging from captivating to amateurish, providing a platform to discover new authors and explore different fantasy worlds. Despite mixed reviews, some readers appreciated the opportunity to delve into short stories and were intrigued by the connection to Gemmell's legacy, even if they found the collection to be somewhat disjointed in its overall execution.
From The Publisher:
Legends is an anthology of all original stories written to honour the memory of one of Britain's greatest fantasy authors. Determined warriors, hideous creatures, wicked sorceries, tricksy villains and cunning lovers abound as fantasy's finest imaginations do their best and their worst. James Barclay reveals the origins of his elite mercenary band The Raven, Adrian Tchaikovsky unveils new aspects of the realm of the Apt, Tanith Lee, Joe Abercrombie, Storm Constantine, Stan Nicholls, Juliet E McKenna and more weave their magic as only they can. Produced in cooperation with the David Gemmell Awards, Legends will, in part, act as a fund-raiser for the awards.
