Grunts
by Mary Gentle
The usual last battle of Good against Evil is about to begin-and Orc Captain Ashnak and his war-band know exactly what to expect. The forces of Light are outnumbered, full of headstrong heroes devoid of tactics, but the Light's still going to win. Orcs will die by the thousands, and no one cares. No even the Nameless Necromancer who hired them.The eternal battle of good versus evil takes on a decidedly modern tone when the evil orcs steal modern-day weaponry from the dragon guardian. It's a wild free-for-all, with the forces of Light struggling to overcome the denizens of Darkness in a story full of humor and heroism. From the author of Ancient Light and Left to His Own Devices. Original.
