I've always thought the ending of Sauron was the weak part of the story. Surely he was severely weakened at the end of the war of Sauron and Elves but he managed to survive.
Even though the ring has now gone he would surely be able to fly around in wraith form and command power over orcs, etc.
I hear a sequel!!!
(Of course no one but the great tolkien himself could write one. hey, we're at the barrow downs, get one of the wraith moderators to resurect him!!)
