Product Description:
Drizzt is back, and facing a world changed forever!
An uneasy peace between the dwarves of Mithral Hall and the orcs of the newly established Kingdom of Many-Arrows can't last long. The orc tribes united under Obould begin to fight each other, and Bruenor is determined to finish the war that nearly killed him and almost destroyed everything he's worked to build. But it will take more than swords and axes to bring a lasting peace to the Spine of the World. Powerful individuals on both sides may have to change the way they see each other. They may have to start to talk. And it won't be easy.
The trade paperback resize of the novel that spent over eight weeks on The New York Times hardcover fiction best seller list, and debuted near the top of every major list in the country. This best-selling, award-winning franchise has never been stronger and with all three formats to choose from, fans have never had more options for entering the exciting world of Drizzt.

Rating:  - Reviewing the reviews
Ok, let's start by saying that to call myself a fan of R A Salvatore would be a huge understatement. I have read just about every book he has written and my favorites by far are the books involving Drizzt and The Companions of the Hall. But my review really is to review the whiners reviewing The Orc King. And yes I know we are each entitled to our own opinion, so here's mine. First let me say after reading all of the negative and a few of the positive aswell that I am surprised that anyone that wrote ... Read More
Rating:  - Inspired me to give up on the Drizzt series.
I've now gotten rid of all my Drizzt books with the exception of the Icewind Dale trilogy. The series actually started going downhill with Legacy with the drastic change in Cattie-Brea and the way she viewed Wulfgar. (I could have tolerated her getting together with Drizzt if it had not been so obviously telegraphed - "Drizzt is now the hero, so we've got to bump off Wulfgar so HE can get the girl". Why couldn't he get his own girl?)
Anyway, though the series always lacked the greatness of ... Read More
Rating: - More Drizzt, not enough
I loved this story line. Not enough pages. I have reread it too many times.
...better to start from the beginning. DOnt forget to include the cleric quintet
Rating:  - The Orc King
The New book from Salvatore the Orc King is based on Hunters blade trilogy and starts where Two swords are ending.I was expecting quite a lot from the first book of new series Transitions because the ending of two swords brought an emotional charge and hope of great new series on horizon.Let me explain: The hole story and plot were below Salvatore`s artistic creation.Great plot and story where the best things from Salvatore and nobody could illustrate the world of Forgotten Realms like he did!The book begins ...

Rating: - A new balance achieved
I believe that this book is the result of many different years in writing and the authors growth and an inflection of his inner beliefs. Having been a long time fan of Mr Salvatore from the early drizzt series and to the demon wars. I'm delightfully content at how his new books are developing. There is a good mixture of both character developement and a new 'battle' that supercedes swordsplay. I see the inner turmoil and constant struggle between what is good and wrong to be pressingly important that reflects ... Read More
