About this ebook
Fearsome enemies unite to destroy The Companions in this explosive episode of the long-running Legend of Drizzt saga
When Obould Many-Arrows and the united orc tribes band together with Gerti Orelsdottr and her frost giants, no one is safe. After a skirmish with the orcs almost ends in tragedy, Drizzt Do’Urden and the Companions join with Dagnabbit and a group of dwarves to warn nearby towns of the impending hordes.
But the fight inexorably comes to them at the Battle of Shallows, where humans and dwarves must unite to defend the settlement against the rampaging orcs and their allies. As blades slash and feet trample, even the heroes may not survive a desperate stand.
The Thousand Orcs is the first book in The Hunter’s Blades trilogy and the seventeenth installment in the Legend of Drizzt series.

This was the first Drizzt book I read. I was in high school and my friends thought it was a Tolkein ripoff. Little did I know how wrong they were. I went back and read Sea of Swords and the Clerical Quintet. I've since read all subsequent books except the Sellsword trilogy. Just finished Hero. That one gets a 5 star rating.

R.A. Salvatore is by far my FAVORITE author his Forgotten Realms is a must have. I have read the series over and over, he really has a way with words and details, I can picture the stories play out in my mind as if watching a movie. I would Love to see Drizzt, Cattie-brie, Bruenor, Wolfgar, and Regis on the the big screen, I often find my self choosing who the cast would be.

a great book! an accumulation of bonds both intertwined and separate, ambitions for themselves and each other to various degrees and being mature enough to be able to notice the end of the road and even more so... to question that destination and really wonder that is what they see before them really where they want to be.
About the author
R.A. Salvatore was born in Massachusetts in 1959. He is the New York Times–bestselling author of more than forty novels, including the popular Forgotten Realms series, The Legend of Drizzt. His love affair with fantasy, and with literature in general, began during his sophomore year of college when he was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings as a Christmas gift. He promptly changed his major from computer science to journalism. He began writing seriously in 1982, penning the manuscript that would become Echoes of the Fourth Magic.
His first published novel was The Crystal Shard from TSR in 1988, and his novel The Silent Bladewon the Origins Award. He is still best known as the creator of dark elf Drizzt Do’Urden, one of fantasy’s most beloved characters.
