To start, I have been re-reading Glen Cook books for 20 years.
I know the lore. I know some names that aren't supposed to be known.
Credence is alive. Howler is a Senjak. Dominator is a rapist (Not sure why I'm surprised.)...

I want to share something my friend Jemmy wrote and use it as a springboard for discussion of Glen Cook and his contribution to fantasy fiction.
Gritty or "grimdark" fantasy is arguably the genre's center of gravity at the moment. George R. R. Martin, Stephen Erickson, Joe Abercrombie, KJ...
I've just bought the third book in the series and I'm re-reading the first two to remind me what happened. I think I'm finally coming to grips with what's happening where to whom in Cook's alternate history.
For those who haven't read the books Cook has taken many events from a broad period of...
Do you like Cook Glen's Black Company books?
These books are my best fantasy books i've ever read. I enjoyed these books so much i was problem to stop reading.
These dark fantasy books are different. There are no heroes in shining armor in these books but simple mercenaries, tons of undead and...
I will probably be buying the first book so I thought I'd ask the community here what you guys think of it if you've read any of the books in this series. What kind of style is it? Gritty/bloody at all? Adult themes?
Steven Erikson is just a Glen Cook hack??
Having just read the first three volumes of The Black Company series by Glen Cook I was left feeling shocked and disappointed. How could Erikson use so much of this work and not feel abject guilt?
Do not get me wrong, there is almost enough original...
Hey guys, just have a quick question about this series that is just great in my opinion.
I bought the first three books at a second hand store awhileeeee back, and just got around to finishing them. I noticed now though, that the first three "Books of the North" have recently been re-released...
The annals of the Black Company isn't mentioned here. I enjoyed how down-right nasty the main characters were. Unfortunately I think this series suffered from the problem that many do - one or too books too many in the series.
Thoughts?
