The Orcs are Coming!

Stan Nicholls’ ORCS is one of the most entertaining fantasy books of recent years. The idea is simple: take fantasy’s ultimate bad guys (the orcs); add a teaspoon of compassion, followed by a great big dollop of aggression. Sit back and enjoy the fun. ORCS has already been a huge bestseller, with worldwide sales rapidly approaching a million copies. Orbit will be unleashing them for the first time in the US this September. And do we love this cover? We certainly do.

Grrrrrr....

    Hi nice book, nice cover, but is it supposed to be some sort of save the environment story, Iknow I’m a cynic.

    This book was amazing and I could see why some would think it’s a environmental book but that is only a very minor part to the story. It shows the destructive tendecies of the human species well.
    The fight scenes in the book seem to drag on after awhile and seem to outlandish in some cases, however the rest of the book is written well and makes up for that.
