Product Description
Stryke and the Wolverines returned in 2008 in ORCS BAD BLOOD 1: WEAPONS OF MAGICAL DESTRUCTION, taking their quest to save the Orc race from both man and the sorceress Jennesta across the dimensions. Now they are back in another volume of frenetic action, nail-biting adventure and black humour. Orcs warband the Wolverines are stranded in a parallel world. Their only means of escape, the mysterious instrumentalities, have been seized by their nemesis, the depraved sorceress Jennesta. But regaining the artefacts is only one of their problems. To ignite an uprising in the face of ruthless human oppressors commanding magic, Stryke and his band must reawaken the lost martial spirit of the world's indigenous orcs. You'll never look at an Orc again in the same way.

If there is such a thing as a guarantee by an author its that Stan's novels will do what it not only says on the tin but with talent to spare. You get high octane combat, a great story arc and characters that jump off the page to the readers imagination with great prose. Add to the mix an author who not only know's his trade but also does it in such a way that the reader has devoured the tale before they've even realised that they're there and it's a tale that will have many a legion of fans demanding more from Stan in a very short time. Beware the march of the fan army.

I really really enjoyed the omnibus edition of the first Orc series and purchased the next two books with much anticipation. While the first book of this new series is ok, this second book is truly awful. This book reads like a bad outline for a computer game. It is a short book that truly drags, yet nothing much happens. There seems to be no grand plot and we merely jump from sketch to stetch. The only saving grace is that the main characters retain their original charm but it is like watching good actors trying to make the best of bad material.
A book to be avoided.

When I wanted a book to read that was jammed with action to help me understand how to write good, fast paced scenes for my own writing I remembered the first set of Orc books I read and thought that I pick up the next in the collective series of this seris. This was nothing like the last series and I found it very disappointing. Yes, there is no denying it was fast paced but it lacked a lot of descripition in places where it needed. It appeared that the author was telling me what was happening insteading of showing me. It was much like a lecture.
On the other hand I am glad I did read it for my writing as I believed it has helped me improved, however, my girlfriend did buy me this as a birthday present and I now wish I had gotten it from the library and not have her spend her money.
