Orcs First Blood: Bodyguard of Lightning, Legion of Thunder, Warriors of the Tempest
by Stan NichollsThree novels: bodyguard of lightning; legion of thunder; and warriors of the tempest; whose heroes are orcs and whose villains are humans. Peace seldom reigned unopposed in Maras-Dantia. In a land of many races, conflict was inevitable. But there had always been a measure of tolerance...until a new race spilled into our land, shattering the balance. They were called humans.... And with their contempt for the cultures they encountered-that of dwarf and elf, goblin and dragon and all the others-they brought destruction, raping the land of its resources, bleeding it of its magic. Soon war erupted, and now we ores are never far from the eye of the storm. One of the few elder races who do not possess magic, we make up for the lack with a ferocious lust for warfare. And though humans look on us with hatred and fear, calling us monsters and slaying us like beasts in the fields, we are the champions-the creatures destined to win peace for all. My name is Stryke. I have led my warband through fire and blood. I have fought for our queen, Jennesta, in wars that tore our land apart. Under threat of a slow and painful death, I have sought the five magical artifacts of power she craved and killed more humans than I can remember. Yet there is another way; I have seen the future in my dreams. The five stars are the answer, and though humans hunt us down and Jennesta turn my own kind against me, I will find them. I must, for a war is coming that will take us all....

The Order and the Other: Young Adult Dystopian Literature and Science Fiction (Children's Literature Association Series)
by Joseph W. CampbellIn the mid- to late 2000s, the United States witnessed a boom in dystopian novels and films intended for young audiences. At that time, many literary critics, journalists, and educators grouped dystopian literature together with science fiction, leading to possible misunderstandings of the unique history, aspects, and functions of science fiction and dystopian genres. Though texts within these two genres may share similar settings, plot devices, and characters, each genre’s value is different because they do distinctively different sociocritical work in relation to the culture that produces them. In The Order and the Other: Young Adult Dystopian Literature and Science Fiction, author Joseph W. Campbell distinguishes the two genres, explains the function of each, and outlines the different impact each has upon readers. Campbell analyzes such works as Lois Lowry’s The Giver and James Dashner’s The Maze Runner, placing dystopian works into the larger context of literary history. He asserts both dystopian literature and science fiction differently empower and manipulate readers, encouraging them to look critically at the way they are taught to encounter those who are different from them and how to recognize and work within or against the power structures around them. In doing so, Campbell demonstrates the necessity of both genres.
