Summary
It is 300 years since the world toppled on its axis and civilisation was destroyed. In this savagely reshaped world ruled by brigands and war makers, a rider seeks a lost city. Pursuing a dream to calm the violence in his soul, Jon Shannow, the brigand slayer, desires only peace. But from the Plague Lands emerges a fresh terror.
The Lord of the Pit and his hell-born army seek to plunge mankind into a new demonic era. Seemingly invincible, they make a fatal mistake: they take Shannow's woman for blood sacrifice. And find themselves facing the deadliest warrior of the new age: Jon Shannow - the Jerusalem Man.

Great storytelling
Absolutely love David Gemmell. Overall the performance was great. As with any narration. Voice performance by a man of a woman and vice versa can seem a little odd. One or two accents were amusing. The Donna and Eric characters reminded me of the comedian Johnny Vegas. 🤣

Jerusalem Man rocks!
Always loved Gemmel's books and particularly the Jon Shannow series. The stories are epic hero stuff as you expect and 80% of the time the performance is good. Some of the accents are shockingly bad -especially the cringeworthy-awful Jamaican accents. Took the shine off a little for me.

Fabulous. Gemmell at his best
Will download the other two now! I read the others many years ago, but this narrator is excellent. Good accent changes.

Awesome Story
I got hooked on David Gemmel through his Drennai books, then his Sipstrassi books surpassed even those. So when I found them on audio I had to have them. True, the narration could be a little better, but if you don't allow that to detract from the story then you're in for a shell of a ride. To be honest, I didn't find Christian Rodska all that bad as a narrator, certainly not as bad as others have made him out to be (except for the Chinese accent). I'm just glad I didn't let the negativity over the narrator deter me from getting this amazing audio book.

Good story, poor accents
Enjoyed the books in the past… story is compelling. However, although the narrator gives a good account of himself, the various accents, become annoying. These vary from a Manchester to northern accents, which spoil the story, becoming farcical.

Solid Performance
I held off this for a while due to reviews of poor narration, but I think the narration is fine. It's not Sean Barrett, but it's definitely not terrible as some reviewers would have you believe.
I think the story isn't as strong as many other Gemmell novels, but it's tightly woven and moves along at pace. I never did think Jon Shannow was one of Gemmell's strongest characters and giving the audio book a go confirmed it.
If you're looking to start with something by David Gemmell, then I'd recommend Legend. This is probably one for die hard fans.
