No doubt about it.

Christie Golden seems to be a much more talented writer than most of her colleagues here, and she makes this part of the lore come alive in a wonderful way. Draenor and the traditions of Orc society are vividly described, several important characters make an appearance, and in the very beginning, the reader actually gets to witness the fall of the Eredar in ancient times.

The most interesting part of the book was its point of view. It is narrated by Thrall the Warchief looking back on the dark history of his people. But in the past itself, the viewpoint is with the bad guys. No matter if one supports the Alliance or the Horde on Azeroth, there can be no doubt that the Old Horde of Draenor was a force of evil.

And the rise to power of that force is what this book is all about. Rise of the Horde (World of WarCraft, #2), Christie Golden World of Warcraft: Rise of the Horde is a novel by Christie Golden set in the Warcraft Universe.

It was published in December 2006. Golden also has a commitment with Blizzard Entertainment and Simon & Schuster to write a StarCraft trilogy.

It was published in December 2006. Golden also has a commitment with Blizzard Entertainment and Simon & Schuster to write a StarCraft trilogy. Originally presumed to be the sequel to her previous 2001 book, Warcraft: Lord of the Clans, it depicts the draenei's escape from Argus and the rise of the Horde, following their shift from a shamanic race to a warmongering one. The book features major Warcraft characters, such as Durotan, Ner'zhul, Gul'dan, Orgrim Doomhammer, Kil'jaeden, and Velen.

The story tells of how the orc clans and the noble draenei slowly become enemies due to deception and arrogance, and shows the downward spiral into which the orcs are thrown, and explores the role that demonic forces play in the Horde. It also expands on the origin of the Burning Legion, and the events preceding the first game of the Warcraft series. تاریخ نخستین خوانش: ماه می سال 2009 میلادی عنوان: وارکرفت: طلوع هورد کتاب چهارم؛ نویسنده: کریستی گلدن؛ مترجم: احسان مقصودی؛ تهران، ایران سخن، 1388؛ در 320 ص؛ شابک: 014؛ موضوع: داستانهای خیال انگیز از نویسندگان امریکایی قرن 21 م نقل از متن: در ازای آن چه به ما میدهد درخواست کمی کرده، این جمله نشان میدهد که پشت داستان چیز دیگریست. پایان نقل مدتها قبل در دنیای آرام درانور، اورکهای نجیب در صلح نسبی با همسایگان مرموزشان درنآی، میزیستند.

World of Warcraft: Rise of the Horde, by Christie Golden 'Rise of the Horde' is what a Warcraft book should be. The book is enjoyable, the plot is pretty solid, and the characters are spot on.

In the author biography, Golden states that she is a World of Warcraft player and it shows - there are little things thrown in that any Warcraft player will appreciate. Each chapter starts with a brief introduction from Thrall, the current chief of the new Horde.

The book is enjoyable, the plot is pretty solid, and the characters are spot on. In the author biography, Golden states that she is a World of Warcraft player and it shows - there are little things thrown in that any Warcraft player will appreciate. Each chapter starts with a brief introduction from Thrall, the current chief of the new Horde. He is writing the history of the old Horde, the Horde that destroyed their own world and invaded Azeroth, the Horde that perpetuated genocide on the draenei and slaughtered the humans. The story of the orcs starts with a noble race, living peacefully on Draenor. The orcs have coexisted with the draenei for hundreds of years, ever since the draenei arrived on Draenor fleeing from their ancient enemies.

While the orcs take pleasure in hunting animals and bloodlust, they are not killers and have a culture, family groups, a belief system. But all that changes when the Burning Legion turns a key orc to their side, and he leads the orcs on a terrifying descent into madness. Only one clan stands apart, the Frostwolves; their leader Durotan watches helplessly as the orcs are corrupted by demons. Golden depicts this tale with plenty of emotion; I felt for Durotan's situation.

How many of us have watched someone do something we know is wrong, but we can't change their minds? Most of us have, I'm sure. 'The Rise of the Horde' details just that, the rise of the horde that descended upon Azeroth, intent on taking the world for their own. The story is known, especially if one is a Warcraft player; but Golden fleshes out the story very nicely. How many Warcraft players have visited Durotar, or Orgrimmar?

The figures these places are named after, Durotan and Orgrim, are key characters in this book. The additional background detail it provides will delight any Warcraft player; this is one of my favorite novels based on the universe - I've read all of them, and read them all multiple times. I've been playing WoW for six years now and have always loved what little (compared to how much of it there actually is, anyway) hints of the story I got from reading the quests and listening to the NPCs talk, but I wanted to learn more.

That's when I decided to begin reading the novels, and I don't regret a moment of it. This book really brings you closer to orcs and draenei alike (read: I re-rolled an orc shaman right afterwards).

This book really brings you closer to orcs and draenei alike (read: I re-rolled an orc shaman right afterwards). Golden does an excellent job at bringing their brutal, and often tear jerking, struggles to life. The story recounts back to the days of Durotan, Thrall's father, and the trials the orcs go through to eventually reach Azeroth. Evidently, Thrall has acquired much information through an old friend of his father's (Drek'Thar), and has decided to put the story of the orcs down on paper. He tells us of the life of the orcs before their corruption by the Burning Legion and what little was known of the mysterious draenei.

But he also recounts the tale of how the two races became enemies, despite their previously peaceful coexistence. It is an amazing tale of strength, determination, and knowing when to keep your mouth shut to save those you cherish most.

If you've played any Warcraft games, this book will give you that, 'Oh, I know that guy!' Feeling that tends to keep us wanting to fill in the blanks and learn more. Even if you haven't played, this is a good place to start.

Christie Golden does a good job telling the tale. Characters like Durotan, Orgrim, Ner'zhul and Gul'dan are well described, their personalities coherent with their actions. Although the pace is rather quick, since the short book spans a solid number of years, it's easy to keep track of all the events that take place, and which may provide an answer to many of the questions of former Warcraft / WoW players. These should also expect certain treats, with the description of familiar game elements, such as the Warlock pets and spells.

The prose is good, and the introduction offered in Thrall's voice before each chapter presents an interesting view point of the events taking place. Although it's hard to be surprised with the book's ending, since you're clearly shown the characters' intentions, it is still a very pleasant story, satisfactory for both fans of the renowned computer games, or for complete newcomers.

Rise of the Horde tells the tale of the orc people's corruption by the demons of the Burning Legion. The storytelling in Rise of the Horde was my favorite aspect of the book. I enjoyed the setup at the beginning of each chapter. I like the character interactions and individual stories. It was interesting to read more about characters that I had encountered from the Warcraft games.

My favorite character in the book is Durotan. Durotan's comparatively calm nature really stands him out as a leader and allows his clan to fair better than many of the other clans. It is a sad book throughout as the the orcs slowly turn on their peaceful neighbors. Rise of the Horde shows how fear is used to turn people against each other. I would recommend Rise of the Horde as a good starting point to anyone interested in reading the Warcraft lore. Personal Response I am a fan of the World of Warcraft universe.

I started to read this book awhile back but never finished it; not because I had not liked it but because due to time spent elsewhere. I loved the book.

Being that I was a World of Warcraft player I fell in love with the story, and this book gave me a chance to dive deeper into the lore.

I loved the book. Being that I was a World of Warcraft player I fell in love with the story, and this book gave me a chance to dive deeper into the lore. Knowing that the universe around World of Warcraft is much bigger than many people think. Plot The book was written in a way to predate Azeroth. It started when the Orcs and Draenei lived in peace. The Orcs were natural inhabitants of Draenor, they were a shamanistic people believing in the elements and spirits of ancestors. The Draenei where an alien race chased away from their homeworld be evil beings of the Burning Legion.

Relations between the two races quickly diminish when mysterious Being appears to a young shaman named Ner'Zhul. This being persuades Ner’Zhul that the Draenei will lead to the end of the Orcish race. This Being promises to help his people. Ner'zhul along with his master Gul’Dan call for a meeting of all the Orc tribes there the orcs were meet by a Demon named Mannoroth who tells them that the only way to defeat the Draenei is to Drink his blood so they will gain power. The first to Drink was the mightiest warrior of all the clans Grom Hellscream, all the orcs then follow him. Than the Orcs normal skin turned to a demonic shade of green and their eye to blood red.

The Blood of Mannoroth sent the Orcs Bloodthirsty and enslaved them to the Demon. Under The spell of Demon Blood the Orc rampaged across Draenor forming the Horde. They slaughtered the Draenei wiping out whole cities, none were shown mercy.

As women and children alike were slain, the mysterious being appeared once again to Ner’Zhul and Gul’Dan. The Being Told them of a way to make portals to other worlds to turn the Orcish Horde loose upon. This then leads into the other novels and the beginning of Warcraft I. Characterization In the book the reader so told about Gul’Dan and Ner'zhul. In the beginning all Ner'zhul wanted was for his people to be safe. Throughout the story Ner'zhul became corrupted and power hungry.

Der Aufstieg Der Nsdap

Along with Gul’dan they began to sacrifice the very thing they tried to protect in the thirst for power. This told how power twisted and changed the two.

How Ner’zhul and Gul’dan lead their people into slavery and war all so they could gain power. Setting The book took place on a foreign world of Draenor. Draenor was home to the Orcs.Draenor was divided based off what clans controlled certain parts of Draenor such as the Frostwolf Clan controlled the north, and the Shadowmoon Clan controlling the south.

Draenor was described as vast in size and gave much room for wars that were waged of its continents. Draenor had tall mountains and open prairies which lead to many interesting conflicts.

The book took place many years before any of the events of the Warcraft Games. The events of the book took place after the events of the War of the Ancient. Theme The theme of the book was how the shadow of evil can corrupt anyone. The theme also was to set up the beginning of Warcraft and it gave the backstory to the universe.

The book served as a tool for players from the World of Warcraft universe to had become more involved with the lore. The book gave meaning behind many things that happened in the game and a back story to events untold in the games or other places. Recommendation This book was a fantastic read and would recommend to anyone. I feel that players of the game will find more things about the book interesting. The reading level wasn't that hard; anyone above the age of 13 would be able to read it. Both boy and girl alike will find it interesting.

Any true fan of World of Warcraft should read this book. Yes I read a book based on a game. Yes I loved it more than the game. Deal with it.

Rise of the Horde is the first instalment. Oh wait it's the second. But it's the first in chronological order.

What my trifle with these books is is that the numbering doesn't make any Kil'jaeden damned sense. Having to look up a reading guide just so I could read the books in proper logical order isn't cool Christie (Well I can't really blame Christie for the illogical chronology of the books due to the fact t Yes I read a book based on a game.

Having to look up a reading guide just so I could read the books in proper logical order isn't cool Christie (Well I can't really blame Christie for the illogical chronology of the books due to the fact that she isn't the only author). So the bad thing about these books is that they don't really make sense if you look at the numbers which is pretty damn nitpicky of me but I had to point out one bad thing about this book because it was astonishingly amazing. There's a Warcraft movie upcoming and that's the sole purpose I started reading these books but now I'm damn well glad I did. I played WoW at the time, wasn't really my thing but I always found the lore intriguing. Finding out that there were books set me off because of two reasons: 1) At the time I didn't really read book (yes, point at laugh, I deserve it) and 2) The fact that it was a book based on a video game made it equal to a pile of dead Gronn in my mind.

Two big mistakes because this books was so good (cue the song by that rapper that believes the earth is flat). Based on a video game or not the way this book is written and the way the story is told are just magnificent. I don't know if it's just Christie Golden that does this with her installments but if so then I want her to be the author of all the books.

The story is deep and filled with morals and surprises even to a person who knew what was going to happen. The little journal that Thrall gives before every chapter is just a treat and is the perfect prologue to every story that is told. The characters were rich and lovable (Well the ones you were supposed to love anyway) and the world of warcraft (no pun intended), (no really I dislike the game don't get the wrong idea) is just filled to the brim with interesting lore.

Overall I loved this book and I would recommend it to anyone even if they have never played the game (I'd even tell them not to play it because i.m.o. It's a bit shite). Great writing, Christie Golden deserves some sort of cookie for this.

I first bought Rise of the Horde by Christie Golden as a birthday present for my brother. He does not read often, but we are both avid gamers and have played World of Warcraft since before there were expansions. He is, however, not much of a reader. When he told me how good the book was, though I intended to read it anyway, I put it to the front of my queue and finished it in one night.

Her descriptions of both place and characters are vivid. Best of all she connects the content of her book seamlessly with the overall story the Blizzard team has crafted.

If you are a fan of the Warcraft games, definitely read this book. If you are not a gamer, but love solid fantasy, definitely read this book. Well done, Christie. Bookworm Speaks!

The Story: Though the young Warchief Thrall ended the demon curse that had plagued his people for generations, the orcs still wrestle with the sins of their bloody past. As the rampaging Horde, they waged a number of devastating wars against their perennial enemy — the Alliance.

Yet the rage and bloodlust that drove the orcs to destroy everything in their path nearly consumed them as well. Long ago, on the idyllic world of Draenor, the noble orc clans lived in relative peace with their enigmatic neighbors, the draenei. But the nefarious agents of the Burning Legion had other plans for both of the unsuspecting races. The demon-lord Kil’jaeden set in motion a dark chain of events that would succeed not only in eradicating the draenei, but forging the orc clans into an single, unstoppable juggernaut of hatred and destruction.

An original tale of magic, warfare, and heroism based on the best-selling, award-winning electronic game series from Blizzard. The Review: This was one of the first Warcraft novels Bookworm had ever read and its influence has never waned. One of the hallmarks of a good book is how well the reader can recall parts and passages long after the completion of the reading. This book has stuck in Bookworm’s memory for a very long time, a testament to the wordsmithing at work here. On a minor note: the cover of this book is probably the most iconic images of the Warcraft universe that Bookworm can think of. In a lot of ways, the overall storyline contains threads of the traditional hero’s journey, the foundation of almost all fantasy fiction. It follows the journey of an Orc named Durotan, who is the father of Thrall, a central character in Warcraft.

The story describes him growing up and rising to leadership of his clan, the Frostwolves. Unlike most hero’s journey tales though, Durotar does not go on to become the savior of his people. Some may say that he failed in the expected hero’s challenge. That could be seen as one of the flaws with this novel.

Durotan could be seen as a passive When one gets down to it though: Most if not all ‘Hero’s Journey’ tales are power fantasies in disguise. There nothing inherently wrong with that, they are fantasies after all. There are not realistic though, and oddly enough for a story that stars trolls and warlocks, is bit more realistic a path for a ‘hero”. The truth, there are a handful of people who get to shape the course of history and the most that the rest of us can do is just try to live our lives the best we can while we are swept up in the tides. That is exactly what Durotan does and why he is relatable as a protagonist. Perhaps it is a bit too relatable.

Like many Warcraft books, the text carries multiple Point of View characters but Durotan is the only character that Bookworm can recall any significant passages from. Him and the narrator.

He is the central character after all but perhaps the author should have stuck with him alone. Would have added a little less confusion. The world building is excellent. The way the Orcs are portrayed is very compelling. The truth isBookworm prefers the Orcs of Warcraft compared to the Orcs of Middle-Earth. The world of Draneor is easily visualized in the minds eye, a form of rugged paradise. The orc’s lived in harmony with their world in a primal but beautiful tribal culture.

The way the Draenei are portrayed is not quite as well written or memorable as the orc arc. The best comparison Bookworm can think off, is the elves from Lord of the Rings. (Tolkien’s creation seems to come up frequently in this review!) That is not necessarily a good thing, as both are rather boring and lack depth.

The reader only spends a limited amount of time with the Draenei so it is be expected, but their genocide has more gravitas on the side of Orcs rather than them. The fall of the Orcs is really a tragedy is every respect. They were a proud and noble culture but there was an innocence about them that made their manipulation so heartbreakingly believable. It adds context to the central conflict of Warcraft (Orcs & Humans) and creates a much more nuanced tale. Their being completely played by the Burning Legion can stretch believability a bit but the book does mention that during their time on Draenor, the tribes were essentially like children. What more needs to be said? One of the more uncomfortable truths that are uncovered is that more worldly readers can detect threads of human history among the history of the Orcs.

One of the lines from this book that will probably never lose its relevance is: “Hate is powerful. Hate can be eternal. Hate can be manipulated. And hate can be created.” Time and again this words have been proven true, both in history as well as events currently unfolding.

The tale Orc’s of Draener is mirrored by the Humans of Earth. Story can teach as much fact and reader’s must take heart the lessons they impart. The Final Verdict: World of Warcraft has been called by some as the Lord of the Rings of gaming, in that they are both fantasy universes with a vast and complex lore, filled to the brim with characters, settings, and conflicts. So much so, that confronting it can very intimidating. Where to begin!

Thankfully, a book like this is around to guide the apprentice adventure to the world of Azeroth and beyond. The Rating Four Frostwolf Clan Crests out of Five.

Their rivalry, playfulness and curiosity. I never really liked orcs, they were monstrous to me but this book finally, lacking a better word, humanized them for me. I watched Nobbel's video on the origin of the Horde but I didn't feel compassion and empathy for the orcs while watching the video.

This book made me feel exactly that for the orcs. I felt angry but also sorry for Ner'zhul who was tricked. I felt disgust for Gul'dan. And compassion and sadness for Durotan. Reading about the slaughter of Draenei was heartbreaking and I really admired the author's writing skills because I knew that took skill. There was one thing I didn't like: Ner'zhul being useless and letting him stay alive and do nothing. I know he was meant to stay alive because of the lore, but I would like the author wrote about him a little bit more to convey clearly that he really can't do anything to mend for his actions.

I felt like he simply gave up on life while he clearly wanted to redeem himself. That contrast was off putting. I will still give the book 5 stars simply because it's amazingly written. This book is totally awesome.

SPOILER ALERT FROM NOW ON The perilous path orcs blindly took for the sake of protecting themselves eventually made them what they infamously are, every obscene act was done with exceptional zeal shows just how much fanaticism can be vile (much like what crusaders did in the middle east back in the day). This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, I really enjoyed reading about young Durotan and Orgrim and their experiences with the Draenei and the corruption of the Orc clans.

This book really helps the reader understand both sides of the issue, and you can see the beginning of the Horde vs Alliance was caused through deception, fear, and blind faith. Horde are frequently viewed as 'the bad guys' and this book helps show they were deceived and exiled and more like ignorant refugees than the antagonist of the Alliance.

Golden has also written the novelization of Steven Spielberg's Invasion America and an original 'prequel,' On The Run, both of which received high praise from producer Harve Bennett.

On The Run, a combination medical thriller and science fiction adventure, even prompted Bennett to invite Golden to assist in crafting the second season of the show, if it was renewed. Golden lives in Loveland, Colorado, with her artist husband and their two cats.

20 MB Format: PDF, ePub, Mobi Download: 600 Read: 354 Frostmourne. It was caught in a hovering, jagged chunk of ice, the runes that ran the length of its blade glowing a cool blue. Below it was a dais of some sort, standing on a large gently raised mound that was covered in a dusting of snow. A soft light, coming from somewhere high above where the cavern was open to daylight, shone down on the runeblade. The icy prison hid some details of the sword's shape and form, exaggerated others.

It was revealed and concealed at the same time, and all the more tempting, like a new lover imperfectly glimpsed through a gauzy curtain. Arthas knew the blade - it was the selfsame sword he had seen in his dream when he first arrived. The sword that had not killed Invincible, but that had brought him back healed and healthy. He'd thought it a good omen then, but now he knew it was a true sign. This was what he had come to find. This sword would change everything.

Arthas stared raptly at it, his hands almost physically aching to grasp it, his fingers to wrap themselves around the hilt, his arms to feel the weapon swinging smoothly in the blow that would end Mal'Ganis, end the torment he had visited upon the people of Lordaeron, end this lust for revenge. Drawn, he stepped forward. The uncanny elemental spirit drew its icy sword. 'Turn away, before it is too late,' it intoned.

His evil is legend. Lord of the undead Scourge, wielder of the runeblade Frostmourne, and enemy of the free peoples of Azeroth. The Lich King is an entity of incalculable power and unparalleled malice - his icy soul utterly consumed by his plans to destroy all life on the World of Warcraft. But it was not always so. Long before his soul was fused with that of the orc shaman Ner'zhul, the Lich King was Arthas Menethil, crown prince of Lordaeron and faithful paladin of the Silver Hand. When a plague of undeath threatened all that he loved, Arthas was driven to pursue an ill-fated quest for a runeblade powerful enough to save his homeland.

Yet the object of his search would exact a heavy price from its new master, beginning a horrifying descent into damnation. Arthas's path would lead him through the arctic northern wastes toward the Frozen Throne, where he would face, at long last, the darkest of destinies.
