Winter is coming, so why not get away from it all?  

Being the Dark Lord and Prince of Evil is not as much fun as it sounds, particularly if you are a basically decent person. King Mordak is just such a person. Technically he's more goblin than person, but the point is that he is really keen to be a lot less despicable than his predecessors.   

Not that the other goblins appreciate Mordak's attempts to redefine the role. Why should they when his new health-care program seems designed to actually extend life expectancy, and his efforts to end a perfectly reasonable war with the dwarves appear to have become an obsession?       

With confidence in his leadership crumbling, what Mordak desperately needs is a distraction. Perhaps some of these humans moving to the Realm in search of great homes at an affordable price will be able to help?

An Orc on the Wild Side is the latest comic masterpiece from one of the funniest writers in fantasy.

Not a patch on the JWW stories. Very well read, as you'd expect from Ray Sawyer.

An entertaining listen, but light on laughs.

Tom Holt has a unique sense of humour and writes fantasy like no-one else. This book is hilarious and a real "page turner". The narration is equally good and Ray Sawyer adds so much to the mix, I find myself reading in his voice when I have a hard copy in front of me. Highly recommended.
