WORLD OF WARCRAFT
Anduin Lothar, former Champion of Stormwind, has left his shattered homeland behind and led his people across the Great Sea to the shores of Lordaeron. There, with the aid of the noble King Terenas, he forges a mighty Alliance with the other human nations. But even that may not be enough to stop the Horde's merciless onslaught.
Elves, dwarves, and trolls enter the fray as the two emerging factions vie for dominance.

I'm new to Rosenberg, but definitely not to the Warcraft world and it's lore. Rosenberg takes the story of the game, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and does a solid job of putting it into a gripping novel that serves as a solid refresher on events that happened years before the setting of World of Warcraft. It also gives you a glimpse into some of the characters that you'll find in the World of Warcraft and give you an idea why there are statues of some of them outside of Stormwind.
For timeline purposes, this book takes place right after the first war between the humans and orcs. It's best to be read after Christie Golden's Rise of the Horde which ends as the horde are starting their initial invasion into Azeroth, and also after Jeff Grubb's The Last Guardian which shows what happens on the human side during the first war. This will give introduce you to a few of the major characters on both sides of the war in Tides of Darkness.
If you're a fan of the Warcraft universe, you should enjoy this novelization of one of the major chapters in the World's history. If not, then chances are this book isn't going to be for you.

I picked up this book with great hopes. For those who are a fan of the online game, or the rpg game, or the card game (yes there are so many!), you should realize that there is a funny, adult sense of humor that pervades everything.
With this novel, I was left with the impression that it was written for 5th-6th graders. There were many opportunities to flesh out the characters that went unrealized, but more importantly, it seemed that the author had a list of things he needed to include in the book and he checked them off one by one.
It felt that the author was relating the "lore" of warcraft not by creating it, but by instead paraphrasing other material. I realize that yea, someone else is in charge of the property, and all that, but this book does not stand on its own and you can really see where it falls apart.
I think the people writing the warcraft novels need to keep in mind their target demographic is not < 13 years of age. If it is, please put this and the next ones in the early reader section so at least your adult fans of warcraft will know what they are getting.
