He's my highest recommendation. I also like Ted Dekker, Dean Koontz, and Timothy Zahn

Zahn worked wonders with the Star Wars EU, but all that has since been complicated and confounded by the New Jedi Order nonsense. Salvatore should have stayed with D&D books.

Gemmel is High Fantasy, sword and sorcery type stuff. I really like him. He has a basic understanding of humanity that is brilliant usually.
Ted Dekker is Christian thriller, his books have impacted me on philosophical levels highly.
And as dinadin said Zahn did wonders in the Star Wars universe, but he is also quite a good sci fi author period.

If you suggest an author it helps to proved book examples  . I would look it up myself, but I don't feel like it right now. |

I'm currently reading White Wolf by David Gemmel, i agree he is a great author. i've got a Ted Dekker novel - can't remember which off the top of my head though. I have tried to start reading that book but failed about ten times.

I've read only one of Gemmel's books...The Legend. I thought it was amazing. I enjoyed the fact that his heroes were gray characters, and not the regular superhero kind of guys. As Taleisin mentioned, he has a grasp of humanity and human fraility which he brings out skillfully.
