Synopsis

Welcome to the Goblin Corps. May the best man lose. Morthûl, the dreaded Charnel King, has failed. Centuries of plotting from the heart of the Iron Keep, deep within the dark lands of Kirol Syrreth—all for naught. Foiled at the last by the bumbling efforts of a laughable band of so-called heroes. Still, after uncounted centuries of survival, the Dark Lord isn’t about to go down without a fight, particularly in battle against a mortal! No, the Charnel King still has a few tricks up his putrid and tattered sleeves, and the only thing that can defeat him now may just be the inhuman soldiers on whom he’s pinned his last hopes.

This book was going GREAT! It was goofy and fun and fresh. It was like Lord of the Rings from Mordor's perspective. And then it ended. I'm sorry, the ending killed the entire book. [Spoilers ahead] we get this buildup between Katim and Craeosh. She has marked him to be a servitor in the afterlife. Eve......more

Goodreads review by Vanessa on August 23, 2011

If you enjoyed THE CONQUEROR'S SHADOW by Ari Marmell, then THE GOBLIN CORPS is more of the same. Only sillier. I know, I didn't believe it was possible, either, but just read the cover blurb: "The few. The proud. The obscene." Yes, yes he went there. The source of said hilarity are the main character......more

Goodreads review by George on October 31, 2011

The best bad-guy POV story I've ever read. Can't wait for a follow-up. Graphically violent, in the very bestest way.......more
