The Last Guardian
Speculative Fiction Adventure Dark Fantasy Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy Western Fantasy Heroic Epic Redemption Tale
The Last Guardian by David Gemmell is the gripping climactic volume of the Jon Shannow/Wolf in Shadow trilogy, a post-apocalyptic fantasy western packed with gun-slinging "Jerusalem Man" action and Gemmell's trademark themes of redemption, sacrifice, and belief. Readers who crave sweeping battles, prophetic quests, and morally gray heroes will find themselves glued to the pages as Shannow confronts both human tyrants and resurrected gods in a scorched Earth wasteland. The novel stands alone enough for newcomers, but owning this copy completes the set, making it a must-have for collectors hunting the out-of-print Bantam UK paperback.
Why will buyers treasure this edition? Gemmell's lean, lightning-fast prose delivers cinematic set-pieces—six-guns blazing beside ancient magic—while still exploring deep spiritual questions, making the book equally appealing to young adults discovering fantasy and adults who appreciate layered storytelling. The “Jon Stannow” spine branding instantly signals series completion to fans scanning shelves or resale listings, and the durable Bantam binding ensures the story stays readable through multiple re-visits.
This copy is a solid, gently-used survivor: crisp pages with no underlining, no dog-eared corners, and a tight spine that still opens flat for comfortable reading. Light edge creasing and surface scuffs on the cover are the only reminders it’s been loved before you. For collectors, having The Last Guardian in good condition is increasingly difficult—print runs were modest, and copies rarely stay on the market long.
