Legion of Thunder (ORCS: First Blood, Book 2) [Mass Market Paperback]

Stan Nicholls (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 2000 | Series: Orcs

War is throwing the land of Maras Dantia into chaos. As the armies gather and the magic leaks away from the land Stryke and his warband of orcs are on the run from everyone; from the orcs that Jennasta has sent after them and from the humans who will kill any orc on sight. Stryke's quest for the artifacts that will secure the destiny of the orcs and, if they but knew it, all the races old and new in Maras Dantia, has never been more urgent and more difficult. As the net closes in and his troopers fall one by one to foes that even they never imagined in their worst dreams, time is running out for Stryke, for all orcs and for Maras Dantia.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Humans, those "rapacious interlopers," brought strife and environmental devastation to the ancient land of Maras-Dantia, but the warlike orcs may be its saviors in Stan Nicholls's gory sequel to Bodyguard of Lightning, Legion of Thunder. Leading a band of rebel orcs called the Wolverines, Stryke (who's smart at least by orc standards) searches for the three remaining "instrumentalities" that will free the elder races from human domination, battling evil symbiotes, bandits and goblin slavers at every turn.

This review is from: Legion of Thunder: Orcs First Blood, Book 2 (Paperback)

The second book in the trilogy, this continues directly from the first Bodyguard of Lightning (ORCS: First Blood, Book 1). It maintains the same fast pace and chases.

This book is wicked! There are so many cool characters and it keeps you on the edge of your seat every time that you read it, whether it be first of fourth.
