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. \u003cbr\u003e Not that the other goblins appreciate Mordak's attempts to redefine the role. Why should they when his new healthcare 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? \u003cbr\u003e 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? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eFor more from Tom Holt, check out: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Management Style of the Supreme Beings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Good, The Bad, and the Smug\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Outsorcerer's Apprentice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhen It's a Jar\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eDoughnut\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eLife, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sausages\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlonde Bombshell\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom Holt was born in London in 1961. At Oxford he studied bar billiards, ancient Greek agriculture and the care and feeding of small, temperamental Japanese motorcycle engines; interests which led him, perhaps inevitably, to qualify as a solicitor and emigrate to Somerset, where he specialized in death and taxes for seven years before going straight in 1995. He lives in Chard, Somerset, with his wife and daughter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 8.2 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 10, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42320057598087,"sku":"9780316270854","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/f9df888f6fc972b2e33cd17bba607045.webp?v=1739001646","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/an-orc-on-the-wild-side-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
