Summary
From the publisher's flyer:
When the Fellowship is attacked by Orcs at the Sarn Gebir Rapids, Frodo falls into the river and a wounded Boromir jumps in after him. The two are trapped with the Ring playing on Boromir's mind, until help can reach them. From there the story journeys to Amon Hen (an ill Boromir is captured with Merry and Pippin) to Fangorn, reunited with Gandalf, Aragorn and Legolas and Gimli. Boromir and Pippin hurry to Minas Tirith to find Faramir about to be hung for treason (he has refused his father's order to retake Osgiliath).
Fan Comments
There's some lesser known artists who have a very fluid approach to pencil that makes for great emotional art, very alive, rather than static and stiff. Katja Schmidt comes to mind, she did the pictures for Rapid Peril, a LOTR book from Solo press. [1]
