Summary: An amazing fantasy-fiction tale!
Review: "Dark Moon" is an entertaining piece that achieves all the best in its genre: magic, black sorcery, evil men, blood-thirst monsters and human heroes that with cunning and courage fight for the saving of mankind. Yet David Gemmel grasps the story in an intense way: petty, meaningless details give way to an ever-flowing course of action and battle, while always depicting the problematic thoughts and past of the main characters. There isn't a single meaningless page in this book - everything is incredibly connected to speed our way to the great final. From beginning to end the main character - the swordsman Taratio (and its demon-ego Dace) - drive us through battles and difficult choices in a great adventure against an ancient and forgotten evil!25th of August of 1999

Summary: Classic Gemmell
Review: Another great stand alone book. This Story tell us of a troubled warrior who has to live with the demon inside him (literally). this demon is his brother and is the greatest swordfighter in the world... A trait that comes in handy when an ancient race of monsters is set free. The monsters are huge, whith natural body plate armor and two hearts...very hard to kill and they have a ataste for human flesh. Fortuantly our Hero makes some interesting frinedsz and efforts are made to recall another lost race of healers and majics to banish the fearsom monsters...
All in all this is a wonderful book, and the type of thing i read and wonder why there are not movies made of Gemmells books. They move a great speeds and always have facinating characters... Buy this book if you like wonderful stand alone fantasy... and as a refreshing twist... not all the "good guys" will survive...

Summary: www.SFReader.com Review
Review: by Lynn Nicole Louis David Gemmell is comfort food for speculative fiction fans who crave old style heroic fantasy. Although some of his earlier work totters on (and sometimes fall off) the edge of mediocrity, I've found his most recent books to be thoroughly enjoyable despite their rehashing of characters and themes. Dark Moon was no exception. Four races once shared the Earth: the peaceful Eldarin, the mystical healers the Oltor, hive-like and cruel Daroth, and humans. The Daroth destroyed the Oltor and threatened the Eldarin as well, but the Elsarin cast a powerful spell, banishing the Daroth back to their original plane of existence while at the same time sealing themselves and their lands inside a magic globe called the Pearl. The disappearance of the Eldarin and resulting lack of other races caused humankind (who in many ways resemble the Daroth-the comparison is made often) to war among themselves.... ....If you've read and enjoyed other Gemmell books, Dark Moon will bring you guaranteed pleasure. If you haven't, this is a good place to start, as it's not part of a series, but stands on its own. Gemmell's style is more entertainment than literature, but finding a well-done, classic heroic fantasy in today's market is a treat.

Summary: Another excellent read...
Review: Dark Moon is a solid single book read. I think that it would have been better, however, had it spanned two books instead of one, to better flesh out the characters & the world setting. Gemmell's characters in Dark Moon are interesting & leaves you wanting to know more about them than what is supplied...that's my only complaint about the book. Even though Dark Moon has less action than his Drenai series books, the plotline is interesting & highly addictive. Like all Gemmell books it seems Dark Moon is a winner & once again I stayed up all night reading on & on! Gemmell once again proves that he is the most talented writer of heroic fantasy novels ever to pick up a pen!

Summary: Great Heroic Fantasy! Could have been a masterpiece......
Review: Dark Moon is my first book by Gemmell. I am impressed and have acquired more of his books. Dark Moon is a great entertaining heroic fantasy. Its plot is fast and compelling enough to keep me turning the pages and its characters just grow on you. My favorite is of course Tarantio and his twin Dace. The introduction of Tarantio/Dace and their adventures, though short, is the best part of Dark Moon. I wish Gemmell will write more stories in the future featuring this intriguing character. Duvodas is another appealing character though sounds familiar in fantasy. Another merit of Dark Moon is that the side characters are solid and not just there to fill the pages. However, I did not think much of the third main character, Karis. Probably because I dislike female heroes who are meant to "kick butts" but ultimately betrayed by this feminine weakness underneath just because they are women! Hence Karis came up lame. At last! Dark Moon is too short! Dark Moon has the potential to be a masterpiece if only Gemmell has taken more pains in expanding on the characters and dealt deeper on the plot. A pity ! Hence 4 and not 5 stars.

Summary: A great, new Gemmell Book!
Review: David Gemmell branches out into a new fantasy world, while still keeping the best elements of the Drennai novels. An evocative tale with some very sad moments. The only criticism could be the similarity to other Gemmell sagas, however this is also the greatest strength of the book. If you like any of his other books you'll love this! I hope that this book expands into a new saga
