David Gemmell is one of the fantasy genre’s true legends, and we’re excited to hear that 33 of his books will be released as audios for the first time.
Orion Audio and Hachette Audio have joined forces to acquire the world audio rights to Gemmell’s entire work, including the Drenai series, the Rigante series and the Troy series that was completed by Stella Gemmell following his death in 2006. There’s also Rhyming Rings, the crime thriller which was recently published for the first time.
That will be the first audio to be released, and the classic Legend will follow soon after.
The books will also be available via The Royal National Institute of Blind People’s Talking Books service.
This joint venture is very exciting news, and it’s definitely the perfect opportunity for anyone who’s been meaning to take a chance on Gemmell’s work to get into the incredible worlds he created, and to discover characters like Druss and Waylander for the first time. For fans, well, it’s a great excuse to dive back in, isn’t it?
