So I'm a big fan of Salvatore and I finished reading "The Two Swords" After that I went onto read "The Orc King" and was extremely confused. It seems there was a 100 year gap between the two where something catastrophic happened in the world. What book/books should I read to catch up?
Thanks for all the help!! |

Undead's the sequel to Unclean, so you might conceivably want to read that one first.
Since you said you were a big Salvatore fan, I am going to second what Richard said and say read his books, you will love them too!
I will always be a big fan of RA, but I tend to like grittier stuff and Richard's Trilogy based on Thay (Unclean, Undead and the still to be released Unholy) is great stuff! |

That's correct. The rest of the novel is set in the "present" (1372 or so). |

-Don't expect a conclusive breakdown of the transitionary period between the end of the 3e era (1,375 DR / 1,385 DR) and the beginning of the 4e era (1,479 DR). |

It's not really been covered in any of the novels... But there are three web articles you can read:
Countdown to the Realms
Magic in the Forgotten Realms
The Wailing Years |

There are tons of scrolls here that address the timejump, but no novels that detail it.
Just search spellplague and check those threads and you will get caught up. |
