The King Beyond the Gate by David GemmellMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I liked this book even better than the first book in the Drenai saga. Again it follows characters resisting impossible odds in a struggle that comes 100 years after the events in the first. While still being slightly formulaic in that the action tends to take place in defense of fortifications, the opposing factions and character motivations are much better in this book. It also further develops the cultural regions from the first book, Legend, and contains some memorable heroes who are faced with the ultimate sacrifice.
