I would have to say no. I am very sorry, but that age is over. Tolkien realised that. When he finished LoTR he realised that evil would never again take that kind of form. The book (the Return of the Shadow I believe) that he began to write next was all in all a much darker affair. There were no long orcs, but Orc cults, and the evil comes from men, where they abuse their free will. Because with the fall of Sauron men are free. And any story set in ME after LoTR is not going to be about Morgoth, or big armies of elves. If you want to read the kind of evil that comes post-elvish, go and read a book on the holocaust.

But then again maybe there is going to be one final ending. Maybe Morgoth will return at the very end, the End of time when the elves are nearing the end of their lifespans. Maybe there will be a Great War. But i have a horrible thought i know which side we will be on. But you never know.
