The latest New York Times best-seller from R.A. Salvatore, now in paperback! The Thousand Orcs is yet another top release from premiere Forgotten Realms author R.A. Salvatore. This mass market reprint focuses primarily on his signature character, Drizzt Doourden, who has been the subject of most of Salvatore's best-selling titles for Wizards of the Coast, Inc. This title includes a sample chapter from the author's next hardcover, The Lone Drow. One dark elf. Two enchanted blades. One unknown enemy. And a horde of invaders. When a blood-thirsty band of orcs led by an as-yet-unseen enemy comes rampaging out of the spine of the world, it lays waste to everything in its path. Dark elf ranger Drizzt Do'Urden and his most trusted friends find themselves in the path of destruction. As blades slash and feet trample, even the heroes may not survive a desperate stand.
