Harvest of War

Book description: Victory rewards the most brutal. But in a war fought between Orcs, Humans, and the monsters known as the Reapers, who best deserves that title? And will any of them fight for the weak? Or are the weak doomed always to be prey?

 I read Mr. Gramlich's novella (or long short story) in one sitting while my charmer shopped for groceries and I watched our baby get some Z's in the car. Yes, there's plenty of descriptive action in the appropriately titled "Harvest of War," but it's the character development between two unlikely allies that leads me to say that this is my favorite story by Charles Allen Gramlich to date. My wife returned from shopping and asked how it was, and my reply was, "Brilliant. Wish I had published it."

"Harvest of War" can be found on Amazon for the bargain price of $0.99.

    Liked this one as well. Not sure I would qualify it as his best, he's had a bunch of good ones, but it's up there.

    Maybe I was just in the right frame of mind for this story, Randy. I super enjoyed the back and forth between the little girl and monster.

    Go ahead, Charles. Please do.

    That's some cover! And from your description it's some tale as well. I shall be after this one.
