Enjoyable book - Read Legend First Andy Gray The King Beyond the Gates by David Gemmell is a follow up novel to the book Legend. This is not really a sequel to Legend though as this story takes place many years after Legend. This series of books is under the Drenai Tales, so it really is just a collection of stories under the Drenai banner.After reading Legend I was very intrigued by Gemmell's style and flow. For some reason I find him very easy to read. Not easy in the sense that his books don't have character development or a good plot, they have both, but easy in the words he uses and how he writes. . Earl Johnson said THE DRENAI SERIES IS THE BEST OUT THERE!. Heroic fantasy at its best! The characterization is superb and the action is unrelenting! Gemmell is the master of "How do you handle a no-win situation? FIGHT!" Courage, bravery, and sacrifice are all found in this book as well as all of Gemmell's works. Gemmell teaches us unconsciously to never give in and never give up! The stuff of legends here!. "Google " Drenai Saga" for proper chronological order!" according to Leo Hott. This is actually a rating on the 11 book " Drenai Saga". I had read " Legend" & liked it a lot. I decided to get the whole series & when I was looking it up on a Google search I learned that they were written and published out of chronological order. It's been so long since I had read " Legend" that I decided that since the series seems completed now that I would read them in chronological order instead of the order they came out. I am a huge fan of Robert E. Howard & Tolkien & the sword & Sorcery genre in general. The 5 star rating is for " Legend" which I f
