ABOUT THE AUTHOR

D
AVID
G
EMMELL
was born in London, England, in the summer of 1948. Expelled from school at sixteen, he became a bouncer, working nightclubs in Soho. Born with a silver tongue, Gemmell rarely needed to bounce customers, relying on his gift of gab to talk his way out of trouble. This talent eventually led to a job as freelancer for the London
Daily Mail
,
Daily Mirror,
and
Daily Express.
His first novel,
Legend
, was published in 1984 and has remained in print ever since. He became a full-time writer in 1986. His books consistently top the London
Times
bestseller list.
