David McK (3623 KP) rated Quest for Lost Heroes (Drenai #4) in Books

Mar 11, 2023

An early Gemmell, this is the fourth (by release date) in his Drenai saga, and - I have to say - it shows somewhat.

Whilst it is an enjoyable read, I found this one to lack the complexity of some of his later works: indeed, the very plot itself even comes across as a rough outline for his later Winter Warriors.

Having said that, I still enjoyed this one, albeit not as much as his novels that included the Drenai hero Druss (name dropped in passing - this is set centuries on), or even the assassin Waylander.

How did Winston get to be the manager of The Continental, the hotel for hitmen in the John Wick films?

Not a question I ever really thought of before, but that is more or less the driving premise behind this 1970s set prequel (of a sort) to the John Wick movies.

The series is 3 episodes long, each roughly about 1.5 hours long, with each themselves more or less split into 3 acts. In all cases, I found the middle part (and the middle episode) to be the weakest.
