The Grey BastardsAN 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 civilised society, the Bastards eke out a hard life in the desolate no man's land called the Lots, protecting frail and noble human civilisation from invading bands of vicious full blooded orcs. But as Jackal is soon to learn, his pride may be misplaced.
