That's the one. Were they any good?

I've been trying to remember the name of that author a LOT recently, because the whole thing is just so blatantly ripped off from LotR. I read the omnibus once, at the age of maybe 14, and even thick as I often am about getting books on anything more than the most surface level, even at 14... I realised it was an obvious rip-off of LotR before getting about 1/4 of the way through. THe not-Moria sequence with the not-Balrog is the most obvious bit.

Seriously, just read the wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Iron_Tower

They're poo poo.

Were the vala mentionted in Rings/Hobbit? i ask in the context of the Sauron wiki article some guy mentions had a theory that Sauron was a vala before the Simarillion was published.

I think they come up in the appendices, but they're not dealt with in detail.
