Sad news.

I can remember reading Ghost King and Legend a good number of years ago, enjoyed both very much.

Agreed. Long over due for a couple of films. A Jon Shannow movie or 3 would be a fitting tribute. What is Peter Jackson up to atm?

David Gemmell RIP

Sad news indeed

I've only just started reading some of his works, and his latest book which is part of a trilogy I particularly enjoyed. I think the 2nd book will still come out but shame he never managed to finish the trilogy. My condolescences got to his family and friends. He will be missed.
