Wolf in shadow, well this story is certainly not in anyone’s shadow; once again it’s Gemmell at his best. Although I felt that the hero of this book (Jon Shannow) was pretty similar to Waylander the Slayer, as in his no nonsense way of getting things done, it didn’t detract from the read. (Far from it)
The basic plot outline goes thus; it has been three hundred years since the world foundered and fell from its axis, ... ...deadliest warrior of the new age – The Jerusalem Man!
In closing, if you’re a fan of Gemmell this is most definitely for you.
