The Iron Code of Druss the Legend: “Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong and never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.” David Gemmell left us far too soon, passing away in July 2006, but his work continues to resonate with readers and writers alike. Its gritty sense of realism has seen Gemmell's stories sited as a precursor of Grimdark; his canon remains as fresh and relevant as ever, an influence and inspiration for writers even to the current day. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of his passing, twenty-one of the finest fantasy authors have gathered to write twenty-one brand new stories in his honour. Stories that celebrate the spirit of the man whose work inspired them. Pick up your sword and your axe and prepare to be dazzled.

Worrad The Hiring Fayre – Ian Whates Know When to Walk Away – Gavin Smith One More Day – James Barclay “Tales of grit and glory from the hardest warriors in fantasy.” – Joe Abercrombie “An absolute treasure-chest of fantasy short stories, each one a gem. A book to be savoured and to go into one's permanent collection.” – Genevieve Cogman “Friends and admirers hope The Iron Code will help restore Gemmell to prominence. They point out that fantasy has now caught up with Gemmell, a boundary-breaker who brought a hard-hitting, unsentimental perspective to the world of wizards and warriors.” – The Telegraph “I thoroughly enjoyed this collection, there wasn't a bad story among them… The best stuff explores morality in a world of magic and survival, the rest is just exiting and beautiful sword and sorcery.” – LibraryThing reviewer The Iron Code is available as a paperback, an ebook, and a limited print-run hardback edition, signed by the editor. |
