Product Description

Product Description
The original Orcs trilogy ended with Stryke and his band of Orcs finding the ancestral Orc home hidden in another dimension. Orcs Bad Blood will tell the story of their hectic adventures in the other dimensions as they attempt to find peace for their race and escape the ever greedy, savage expansion of mankind. Fast moving, tongue-in-cheek and full of sorcery and bloodshed these are the perfect reads for the fantasy reader who wants a little fresh perspective on the endless war between good and evil.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pulp Fiction, 27 May 2009
This is the second book in a series, but the fact that I hadn't read the first didn't really matter. It's all explained in a brief info dump at the start.
It involves the ubiquitous 'orcs', it has a MacGuffin which various sides are after, and as a whole seems to reference a variety of writing styles, from Philip Pulman, (alternate worlds anyone?), to most predominately that of James Barclay; if you don't know what 'eviscerate' means by the end of this novel, you've missed pages somewhare along the line.
It moves at a rapid pace, has some deft touches of humour, and makes for an undemanding read.
Recommended if you want a fantasy novel that you can read with your brain firmy in neutral.
