An epic of fantasy and adventure that takes place on the streets of São Paulo, Brasília, Rio de Janeiro, New York and Washington, in the confines of the Amazon rainforest, and under the scorching heat of Cuba. On a day that will never be forgotten, the Dark Lord and the remnants of his evil armies disembark in the heart of the USA, while his enemies, the Peoples of Light, break out in the middle of a storm of destruction in another distant corner of the world: on the main avenue of the largest Brazilian city. The meeting of fantastic beings from a destroyed mystical land with ordinary people of the present day results in a deadly conflict between the moral relativism of the modern world versus the absolute values of Good and Evil, originating from a strange, mysterious and dangerous land.

Grunts
Author: Mary Gentle
Publisher: Gateway
ISBN: 0575128798
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
What is an orc? An orc is an 18 stone fighting machine, made of muscle, hide, talon and tusk, with a villainous disposition and a mean sense of humour. And, of course, an orc is a poor dumb grunt - the much abused foot soldier of the Evil Horde of Darkness. The usual last battle of Good against Evil is about to begin. Orc Captain Ashnak and his war-band know exactly what they can expect. The forces of Light are outnumbered, full of headstrong heroes devoid of tactics - but the Light's still going to win. Orcs - the sword fodder in the front line - will die by the thousands. Life's a bitch.

The Orc King
Author: R.A. Salvatore
Publisher: Wizards of the Coast
ISBN: 0786952644
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 395
Book Description
The war against the orcs is far from over in this opening installment of a bold new trilogy in the Legend of Drizzt series The end of winter is near, and it seems the uneasy peace between the dwarves of Mithral Hall and the orcs of the newly established Kingdom of Many-Arrows will not last long. The orc tribes united under Obould are splintering, with some seeking to establish an alliance with a clan of half ogres-half orcs. Drizzt, too, feels himself torn apart, unsure which of the Companions needs him most: As Catti-brie recovers from a serious injury, Wulfgar mourns the death of his wife. Together, the broken pair leaves Mithral Hall for Silverymoon, hoping to find a trail that leads to Wulfgar’s lost adopted daughter. Meanwhile, Bruenor begins his own desperate search. Determined to end the war that nearly cost him his life and everything he has built, he will stop at nothing until he finds the ancient dwarven city of Gauntlgrym. But to truly end the war, drastic changes must be made. Powerful individuals on both sides may have to alter the way they see each other—and perhaps even talk to one another—for it will take more than swords and axes to bring a lasting peace to the Spine of the World. The Orc King is the first book in the Transitions series and the twentieth installment in the Legend of Drizzt series.
