'AN ADDICTIVELY READABLE - AND UNDENIABLY COOL - FANTASY
MASTERWORK' Kirkus BRING ON THE ORCS . . . Jackal is proud to be a
Grey Bastard, member of a sworn brotherhood of half-orcs. Unloved
and unwanted in civilized society, the Bastards eke out a hard life
in the desolate no-man's-land called the Lots, protecting frail and
noble human civilization from invading bands of vicious
full-blooded orcs. But as Jackal is soon to learn, his pride may be
misplaced. Because a dark secret lies at the heart of the Bastards'
existence - one that reveals a horrifying truth behind humanity's
tenuous peace with the orcs, and exposes a grave danger on the
horizon. On the heels of the ultimate betrayal, Jackal must
scramble to stop a devastating invasion - even as he wonders where
his true loyalties lie. A standout adventure fantasy debut that's
down, dirty and damn good fun - perfect for fans of Joe Abercombie,
Markus Heitz's Dwarves series and Stan Nicholl's Orcs series. 'A
gritty adventure with a fantastic, foul-mouthed voice . . . Fans of
Abercrombie's The First Law . . . will like this a lot' Django
Wexler 'A bloody good tale of battle, betrayal and war pigs' Brian
McClellan 'Jonathan French has to be lauded for his plot ingenuity,
bawdry charm and vicious characters. The Grey Bastards has
instantaneously catapulted him into my must-read list' Fantasy Book
Critic 'I'd like to raise a tankard to The Grey Bastards'
brilliance' Fantasy Faction
