While checking some sites in regards the the tolkien book thread, I discovered that author David Gemmell passed away back on July 28th. For those who have enjoyed his novels you'll be happy to know he completed "The Shield of Thunder", the sequal to "The Lord of the Silver Bow" before he passed.

Either did I, as someone who enjoyed his books over the years I'm going to miss his work. I was really looking forward to more books on Skilgannon the Damned.

He needs to buckle down and write more about Mat cauthon and Rand and ignore the annoying women with their incessant pecking orders and general crap.

It better not end up being an unfinished series because of filling his next books with crap or I am going to dig the bastard up and kick him in the nuts!
"Thats for making me spend so much money on this s*** you rotting homo!" >_<

Yes the series should all be about Mat and The Band. The Last Battle is going to be such an anticlimax.

Granted a lot of bread and butter exercises in it are useful... a lot are downright dangerous now.

His actual workout plans though are absolute s***, are completely no use to a natural bodybuilder, and even on steroids there are far more effective workouts then his s***.

6 days a week, twice a day... LOL, nobody with any sort of training knowledge would do that.

That is f***ing terrible news, i'm a huge David Gemmell fan, he has been my favourite author for years (i mean, look at my name), I've read the whole Drenai series, Rigante series, one stand alone and ive read the first Troy and i'm currently reading the second one, i think its my 18th book of his.

This is really f***ed, i love his books so much.

The second one is out already? I'm slipping! My fear though is that it's supose to be a trilogy. I wonder if some one else may try and finish it from any notes/manuscripts he may have left behind/

His wife is finishing it from notes he had taken, plus he had finished about half of it already.
