Though one of the least powerful of the known giants, thursir have the greatest impact on humanoid settlements unfortunate enough to exist near their enclaves. Most of the time, thursir work at their vast underground forges, creating armor, weapons, and incredible engines of war—interspersed with great banquets that last for days. But there are also degenerate thursir: clans of terrifying pillagers who will stop in mid-battle to devour chunks of flesh from still-living prey!
Larger Than Life: Thursir is a new 14-page PDF from designer Mike Welham with plenty of material for Pathfinder Roleplaying Game GMs who want to bring original new giants into their game, including:

Thursir adventure seeds and a CR 10 thursir NPC, Karl Jagendorff—the chief of his clan for close to 40 years
An extensive overview of thursir society, customs, religion and relations with other races

Wolfgang's remit to me was to make the Larger than Life series setting neutral. A short flavor discussion on the giants' rune use makes a nod to material in the Northlands, but you don't need that sourcebook to use any of the crunch in this book.
HI all. To answer Nate and Eric's questions at once (I hope), this is more a GM's resource for giants, and it does not include rules for starting out at 1st level. It provides tools to modify existing giants.
Having said that, however, for those of you playing giant characters, there are a bunch of cool feats, items, and spells in these books that you can apply to your giant (insert caveat about GM's permission :) ).
Ladydragona, you can expect to see, in some order: Hill giants, frost giants, stone giants, fire giants, and cloud/storm giants.
As Mike mentioned above, this series is more of GM resource for modifying giants and adding more fun and interest to them. It's not intended to be as player centric as the Advanced Races series so it's not an omission, it was a concious design decision :)
