Life Isn't easy for Orcs now that the war is over and they lost.
As Usual.
Balrek, though, isn't like other orcs, a fact that is rarely lost on those who encounter him. He has a brain and now, thanks to the Wizard Mangar, he has an education. He's tired of being cannon fodder for any would-be Dark Lord with delusions of world domination.
Balrek has a plan and it will either lead him to freedom or to a cell full of very sharp torture implements before a visit to the hangman.
Orcs are the oft-ignored and always maligned footsoldiers of evil in fantasy, but for once they take centre stage in a tongue-in-cheek tale of what happens to the minor characters after the point where most other fantasy epics finish.
