Warriors of the Tempest (Orcs) [Paperback]

Stan Nicholls (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2003 | Series: Orcs

War is drowning Maras Dantia. Stryke and his warband have recovered the five instrumentalities but now they must work out how to use them while there is still a world to save. And in the meantime they are being hunted from every corner and the three sisters are close to forming an unholy alliance that will overturn history. Full of action, with a pace that never lets up and a tongue firmly placed in cheek Stan Nicholl's epic trilogy nevertheless manages to hit home hard about religion, the way we treat the natural world, how we see those who are different from us. Praised by all the reviewers and by writers as diverse as David Gemmell and Tad Williams it is a major achievement in the genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars An epic that has an ending... great, December 27, 2001

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!!
