Orcs by Stan Nicholls5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() I’m not sure anyone needs to commit that kind of time all at once to Nicholls’ work, though. So, once I read the first, and it ended with a series of cliffhangers, I was pretty much committed to the whole damn thing.įortunately, Orcs was easy reading, and I had a huge chunk of time, so I dove in and spent a few days of my holiday break in Nicholls’ world of Maras-Dantia. ![]() It’s all the same story, just divided into multiple volumes. ![]() What I didn’t realize is that the novels are three separate novels the same way The Lord of the Rings is three “separate” novels. My plan was to read one of the three novels in the omnibus, go on to something else, then come back to the other pieces at some undetermined point in the future. ![]() Orcs also contains a short story that serves as a prequel to the novels, plus a lengthy author interview. Orcs contains three of Nicholls’ novels, Bodyguard of Lightning, Legion of Thunder, and Warriors of the Tempest, packaged together into a handsome bundle that’s currently being pushed at the major book chains in advance of the 2009 release of Nicholls’ next round of Orc books. Perhaps because the book is a promotional tool as much as a literary experience. Orcs by Stan Nicholls is too much of a good thing. ![]()
