Fascinating! The story of Load of the Rings as told by the bad guys.

Interesting looking concept. I've grabbed it to read at more length.

If the story from the other side intrigues you, you might want to take a look at the Sundering (Banewreaker and Godslayer) series by Jacqueline Carey:

It very closely parallels the story line of Lord of the Rings, but from the perspective of one of the Evil Overlord's generals. She's done a fantastic job making you question assumptions about the virtue of the quest, and telling a great story at the same time.

Those crazy Russians. If they aren't insisting that they were the one's to actually create something, they insist that they've raised it to a more-perfect form.
