The story
Fingwit is a grot.
Food, riches, prestige, some form of personal safety—all of these are alien concepts to him, stuck firmly as he is at the bottom of the high, kunnin', and brutally violent heap that constitutes ork society, where to be a grot is to suffer endless torment.
However, when the Mek whom Fingwit unwillingly serves, leads him and his fellow grots in a boarding action of an Imperial vessel as part of a vast void war, Fingwit is presented with an opportunity to become not just a hero but a legend... Da Red Gobbo.
It takes 2/3 of the novella for Da Red Gobbo to make his appearance, wasting time on the grots running around, while the most challenging part of the mission, "Da Gobbo's Revenge", is resolved in a couple of pages.
Overall, a fun read with some amusing "revolushunary" quotes, but the anticlimactic pacing leaves much to be desired.
