The most satisfying, intelligent and enthralling epic fantasy I’ve read in many a year. – JULIET McKENNA
An astonishing book … combines extraordinary scope with first class characterization, devastating and visceral battles, a multi-layered plot and a tightly-focused narrative … The City is easily the best fantasy novel I’ve read in the last decade. – JAMES BARCLAY

Gemmell’s volcanic imagination … erupts into pyrotechnics of description and unstoppable lava flows of intrigue, sweeping us along to the white-hot conclusion. – Tom Holt * SFX magazine *
A plethora of well-defined, superbly-executed characters … I found myself absolutely hooked … there is an ever-growing sense of tension. Even before the final, inevitable, showdown you get the feeling that things are going to get bloody and not everyone is going to make it out of this alive …this is engrossing stuff that’s expertly executed. * ELOQUENT PAGE *
Demands your complete and total attention … pulls together at the end in a gripping climax and wonderful multi dimensional characters … a new and very powerful voice in the world of fantasy.
Highly Recommended.
A sweeping novel of great power. * TOR.COM *
