Read August 2018.
This is a cracking fantasy debut novel about a band of half-breed orcs, called The Grey Bastards.
The Bastards and their fellow half-breed bands, living in The Lots, are seemingly there to protect humankind.
However, Jackal and his friends from the Bastards learn the truth behind their existence, and they must decide where their loyalties actually lie.Oh, and they ride hogs!
This book is epic and I loved it. This is a kind of mix of Stan Nicholl's Orcs books (also great) and the fab Raymond E. Feist.
It contains a well drawn fantasy world with men, orcs, elves, monsters, half-breeds and magic. The characters are great and I can't wait for book two, The True Bastards.
Proper grown up fantasy for adults.
