The Grey Bastards A Novel

Description: A fantasy masterwork a dirty blood - soaked gem of a novel that reads like Mad Max set in Tolkien's Middle - earth. Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Jackal and his fellow half - orcs patrol the barren wastes of the Lot Lands spilling their own damned blood to keep civilized folk safe. A rabble of hard - talking hog - riding whore - mongering brawlers they may be but the Grey Bastards are Jackal's sworn brothers fighting at his side in a land where there's no room for softness. And once Jackal's in charge as soon as he can unseat the Bastards tyrannical seemingly unkillable founder there's a few things they ll do different. Better. Or at least that's the plan. Until the fallout from a deadly showdown makes Jackal start investigating the Lot Lands for himself. Soon he's wondering if his feelings have blinded him to ugly truths about this world and the Bastards place in it. In a quest for answers that takes him from decaying dungeons to the frontlines of an ancient feud Jackal finds himself battling invading orcs rampaging centaurs and grubby human conspiracies alike along with a host of dark magics so terrifying they d give even the heartiest Bastard pause. Finally Jackal must ride to confront a threat that's lain in wait for generations even as he wonders whether the Bastards can or should - - survive. Delivered with a generous wink to Sons of Anarchy featuring sneaky - smart worldbuilding and gobs of fearsomely foul - mouthed charm The Grey Bastards is a grimy pulpy masterpiece and a raunchy swaggering cunningly clever adventure that's like nothing you ve read before. Praise for The Grey Bastards Saddle up the war boar and set off on a wild gory thrill - ride that ends in an awesome climax and begs for a sequel.
