Hero in the Shadows is the only Gemmel I've read, and I probably would have given it the same 3-clock rating, for about the same reasons.

Well, you're both pig-ignorant philistines.  The Gemmel can do no wrong! Waves hands wildly

But seriously, good review I thought you pegged it right on.  And thanks for the mention.
