A Walk in the Abyss

by Patrick S. Tomlison, Patrick M. Tracy, Shane Moore

ORCS! GREYSHALKS! AND GIANTS! Prepare yourselves, intrepid reader, for three complete novelettes set in the Abyss Walker world of author Shane Moore. In this anthology you shall read “No Tusks” by Paul Genesse, the disgustingly graphic orc story—not for children—(You have been warned!); then a tale about a young Bigfoot, or more accurately, a greyshalk trying to find his place in the world in: “A Kudekah to Remember” by Paul Genesse and Shane Moore; and finally, a truly hilarious story about a bumbling giant in: “Mungo the Undying” by Patrick M. Tracy. You’ll also be treated to a short story from a very unique point of view—an arrow in flight: “Unerring” by Patrick S. Tomlinson; and as a bonus, an excerpt from the novella, “The Wererat’s Tale III: The Collar of Perdition” by Patrick S. Tomlinson, which was written from an outline penned by the creator of the Abyss Walker World, Shane Moore himself. Orcs, greyshalks, and giants (and wererats) will never be the same! You will love this book especially if you enjoyed the Orcs novel series by the awesome Stan Nicholls: Orcs: Army of Shadows; Orcs: Bad Blood, or The Thousand Orcs (Forgotten Realms: The Hunter's Blades Trilogy, Book 1) by New York Times’ bestselling author R.A. Salvatore; or Queen of the Orcs: Kings Property by Morgan Howell. If you’re a game player or game master, and enjoyed The Slayer’s Guide To Orcs by Matt Forbeck and Ralph Horsley you will love this.

[John · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a short collection of stories set in the Abyss Walker world. The stories are each stand alone, but still very much in the same world, and in at least one case carrying a character over. There is not much to say without completely spoiling things, but I will mention that I think my favorite story is the shortest one in the collection and it is told from the first person point of view of an enchanted arrow. That's not something you read every day!

A great collection of short stories from the Abyss Walker world. Some were graphic, while others were methodical. But all of them were amazing. If you'd like a deeper knowledge of Terrigan, read this book.

[Benjamin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This a fun collection about characters from many of the evil races of fantasy, like an orc, a giant, and a few others. Many of the stories are written with such fun voices that it's hard to put down.
