The King Beyond the Gate. David Gemmell. Book review.

Writer's picture: Ray T WalkerRay T Walker

It is rare that I have found a novel by David Gemmell lacking. You always get an entertaining heroic fiction. I knew what to expect and that is exactly what I got. A cracking, enjoyable, read. Dotted with simple philosophy (most of which is valuable) a great story, a page turner and an excellent story teller Mr Gemmell will never be mistaken for Proust or Hesse but he writes well enough to convey everything that his story needs. In contrast to the aforementioned writers Mr Gemmell tells a far better and more absorbing story even when lacking a little of the style. If you enjoy the the heroic fiction genre as fans of George RR Martin, Joe, Abercrombie, Conn Iggulden often do (in their millions) then this is a novel for you. You will not be disappointed. Another excellent novel by a great story teller.

What’s New With Raymond Walker

As you can see from the notes above,  "Under Dark Skies" will be released on the 18th of October. Earlier for those who have funds to buy the early edition hardback. I have started doing a little pre-publication advertising and held a talk about its forthcoming release. Happily, the pre-publication reviews have been great. Comments such as "Dark and Delicious" From Lucy Briggs of "Wondrous Tales" and "A clever, accomplished Mystery" from fellow author Rob Anderson have done nothing but confirm my enthusiasm for this Book.

18th October. 
Under Dark Skies.
