Аннотация

The Many. The Lowly. The Orcs.
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.

“Mary Gentle is a delightfully twisted soul with a sharp eye for the ridiculous, and she pulls no punches here…. I enjoyed Grunts very much…. It’s certainly a worthy read if you enjoy parody and are tired of the same old fantasy caricatures and stereotypical quests.”
—The Green Man Review
