justalurkrQuote from the Booksprung blog:
Fifteen years ago, Russian paleontologist Kirill Yeskov decided to rewrite Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” for fun. His new version, “The Last Ring-bearer,” assumes that the original story of the Ring of Power is actually a retelling of a major war as written by the victors — and as with human history, the vanquished were painted with a more villainous brush than they deserved. You can’t find it in any U.S. bookstores, but you can download the ebook for free.
Gandalf is apparently a completely bad-assed warmonger. :D
Looks like we'll never see a commercial English translation because the Tolkien estate is a completely bad-assed...um, whatever. There is a download link at the blog for both Kindle and Nook compatible versions.
