Gollum's a great character in a story but I'm not sure that means he's a brilliant engine for story in general. ![]() Ever wonder what he got up to during this time? Now you can find out. Gollum's lost his precious, but he really wants it back. It's set - I'm being loose here - in the gap between the Hobbit and Gollum's reappearance in Lord of the Rings.

Other characters don't kill people on their birthdays. Other characters don't argue with themselves bitterly over what to do.

Gollum's always been a fascinating splinter of chaos in the Tolkien books.
