Warriors of the Tempest: Orcs First Blood - Book 3 [Paperback]

Stan Nicholls (Author)

Book Description

Series: Orcs First Blood | Publication Date: 1999

The third volume in Nicholls's critically acclaimed fantasy finds Maras Dantia drowning in war. Stryke, head of the renegade orcs, and his warband have found the long-lost relic they need--but still do not know how to use it. And, while they try to figure it out, enemies hunt them from every corner. Worse yet, the three sisters are close to forming an alliance that will overturn history. Time is running out to save the world. Nicholls's masterworks are the first to tell the story from the other side--from the point of view of the orcs, the villains of Lord of the Rings.

This review is from: Warriors of the Tempest: Orcs First Blood - Book 3 (Paperback)

Warriors of Tempest turned out to be the last of a trilogy...
Such a shame, because I was getting used to Stryke and his comrades... Clearly Stan decided halfway the book to put an end to it, because the end is rather rude...
Did I mind? No... we don't need another endless Wheel of Time series :-)
The book, as its two prequels is fastpaced and reads like lightning (mum said it was a waste of money to have me read it in one day! :-))
I hope Stan will do a follow up on Stryke and his warband in the realm of Orcs... or have a spin of on Jup (the dwarve) at least!!
