The Orcs are Coming!
- - March 7th, 2008
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.

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.

I haven’t enjoyed a book this much since the Lord of the Rings came out. Great job Stan. I hope there is a sequel or other parallel stories to this one.

I liked it but didn’t like it the end of the book just dropped off. What happened to all the other orcs? If your going to make orcs out to be noble honor bond race then why did they not go back for the other orcs. One more thing that bugged me fighting! Fighting! Fighting! Ok everyone through the portal and stop book done.
WTF! how is that an ending?
