Legolas and Gimli at Helm's Deep... let me see, wasn't that in the second volume? Editor's choices are sometimes beyond me.
Beyond me too is the back cover copy... really sums up the book for sure.
Alas, my friends, three times alas! Saruman the White Wizard and Gollum, the creature from the Misty Mountains, have fallen prey to their thirst for power. Why are they all searching for the One Ring? Frodo, the little Hobbit, would really like to destroy it, but he cannot pass the Black Gate. How to get to Mount Doom? Perhaps it is already too late: Boromir is dead and Middle-Earth is preparing itself for the War ofthe Ring. A great darkness, issuing from Mordor, has begun to cover the entire continent; the Dark Lord is mustering his armies. The Rohirrim have no time to finish off the traitor besieged in the impenetrable tower of Orthanc, they must reassemble to face the Enemy. Frodo tries his luck one more time, taking the High Pass, where Gollum, still prey to his vilany, delivers him to the abominable Shelob. Will Frodo die? And what can a little hobbit do against the Dark Lord?
