About the Book
Goblins ambush and eat humans, and humans kill goblins on sight, but when misfit goblin Frankie realizes that eating humans is wrong, he moves into a sprawling trash dump outside the human city of Rockpoint where he runs his ramshackle bar and rat fight arena.

The goblin chief doesn’t like it one bit, so he sends Frankie and a ragtag band of other misfit goblins on a series of suicide missions to get rid of them. But when Frankie discovers dangerous orks, not seen in one hundred years, that threaten goblins and humans alike, Frankie is called upon to be something he is not: a hero.
