About this ebook
'IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A FILTHY, FIERCE, FUN-FUELLED READ, THEN THE BASTARDS HAVE GOT YOU COVERED' Fantasy Hive
Following the runaway success of Jonathan French's critically acclaimed fantasy adventure The Grey Bastards comes book two in the Lot Lands series - The True Bastards.
Fetching was once the only female rider in the Lot Lands. Now she is the leader of her own hoof, a band of loyal half-orcs sworn to her command. But the hoof she inherited is on the brink of collapse.
Tested to the breaking point by the burdens of leadership, Fetching battles desperately to stave off famine, desertion and the scorn of the other half-orc chieftains, even as orcs and humans alike threaten the Lots' very existence.
Then an old enemy finds a way to strike at her from beyond the grave - and suddenly only one faint hope for salvation remains.
'[An] action-packed sequel . . . . Imagine an outlaw biker gang of half-orcs riding giant war pigs and you've captured this saga's gloriously dirty soul' Kirkus
Praise for the series:
'An addictively readable - and undeniably cool - fantasy masterwork' Kirkus
'A gritty adventure with a fantastic, foul-mouthed voice' Django Wexler
'A bloody good tale of battle, betrayal and war pigs' Brian McClellan
'Jonathan French has to be lauded for his plot ingenuity, bawdry charm and vicious characters.' Fantasy Book Critic
'I'd like to raise a tankard to The Grey Bastards' brilliance' Fantasy Faction

wanted to read more about Jackals story not Fetch ....not interested in her, I was eager to start the book believing it's a continuation of Jackals story, also I wanted to know what's the outcome of his new arm and what the purpose Z....meant for him....bit dissapointed and to much of not essential side lines... didn't like it.

Possibly even better than it's predecessor, this novel is an enjoyable hog ride, covered in viscera, fuelled by DnD and Biker mags.
