5.0 out of 5 stars A heroic fantasy western done by one of the greats!, Mar 9 2001
By Benjamin Denes (Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I became an instant David Gemmell fan after reading the last book in his 'Stones of Power' series, and have not looked back since. Every single book he has written has more or less been fantastic. None however overshadow this classic book which I highly suggest to all who read this.

'Wolf in Shadow' takes place in the far-flung future where an accident has toppled the earth, nearly destroying life and turning most of the world into a wastland. It has also released the magical Sipstraasi stones back into the world. Civilisation has worked it's way up to horse and buggies, but there exists a great evil who has built a satanic army thirsting for dominance.

There also exists The Jerusalem Man, a noble gunslinger who walks the world searching for the city of the Bible. This is Jon Shannow, one of Gemmell's greatest creations. He is a good man, but a hardened violent one who's morality is edged with a murderous quickdraw. And when he meets with Abaddon, lord of Hell and the mysterious gaurdians of the Sipstraasi, it creates one of sci-fi's under-appreciated jewel's.

Gemmel, as he is known to do, writes a strong adventure book but lines it with deep philosophical debates on the nature of evil and morality, one of those rare books that'll keep you turning pages and thinking as well.

Just a great novel from a great writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wolf in Shadow, Jan 12 2001
By Michael (Irmo, South Carolina at bjbixler@bellsouth.net) - See all my reviews
Jon Shannow, The Jerusalem Man, lived in a world that had toppled on its axis. Civilization had been replaced by ruthlessness and savagery. The vile Lord of the Pit, seeking to plunge mankind into a new satanic era, had unleashed his Hellborn army. But when they took the woman Shannow loved, he vowed to save her or die trying.

Gemmell is perfect again. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Do yourself a favor and buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars The jerusalem Man, Aug 30 2000
By Jen (Columbia, SC) - See all my reviews
This is the story of John Shallow. Jon goes around, fighting and killing brigands. The hellborn, an evil army are bent on world conquest. Sucked in to this struggle against his will, Jon Shannow, the Jerusalem man, resolves to destroy the Hellborn. He learns that good is not always as it seems. He learns to se that friends appear in enemies. Overall, he learns to love. Jon discovers the source of the Hellborn. To destroy it, he must destroy his friends.

This is a good fantasy book. There is twist after unexpected twist. This book is not predictable. It is a book for fantasy and action readers alike.
