Volume I, Awakening in Green Flesh, is the opening movement of a five-book saga about the slow, stubborn work of ending a war neither side remembers starting. It is, on its surface, the story of a modern man dropped into the body of a young orc named Korrak. Underneath, it is the story of an organisation — of two organisations, in fact, locked in an embrace that has long since stopped serving anyone inside it — and of one quiet, patient mind that begins, paragraph by paragraph, to find the seams.
