Subject: (glencook-fans) Spotted a reference to Cook
Date: 30 Jan 2003 22:45:14 -0400
Sometimes RPG (Role Playing Games) books will cite a novel as an
example. Recently while re-reading a GURPS book I came across a
reference I'd missed the first time (or first couple of times) through.
GURPS Robots, Pg 75:
"Ideas for how biological androids and society interact can be found in
the film _Bladerunner_ (bases on Philip K. Dick's novel _Do Androids
Dream of Electric Sheep?_), the Japanrse manga _Appleseed_, and the
novels_Friday_ by Robert A. Heinlein, _Cyteen_, _Port Eternity_, and
_Serpent's Reach_ by C.J. Cherryh, _The Dragon Never Sleeps_ by Glen
Cook, _Schismatrix_ and the _Crystal Express_ anthology by Bruce
Sterlingm and _Norstrilia_ by Cordwainer Smith."
Not the world's best contructed sentence (I would have used more ; and
fewer ,), but it mentions Cook. When it was written (1995) the book was
already 6 years old.

I was half suspecting my post would bounce. The list seems to be in the
middle of one it's dead periods again.

Subject: (glencook-fans) BC Fans were right
Date: 30 Jan 2003 23:33:19 -0600
After reading what I thought was a terrible Bleak Seasons and asking for
feedback, I was pleased to hear that the series improved immensively
afterwards. Taking a chance, I bought and read the next book and agree
100% that the series is much better towards the end than the beginning.
I didn't like the excess length fo the books in comparission to the
first series but hell, it probably prevented it from being an even
longer series right?

For myself, I tend to be let down at the end of every Glen Cook book, I
enjoy his writing so much; the longer the better.
I didn't read Bleak Seasons until the next one was already available, so
that was a pleasant time for me, plowing through two in a row like that.

The credit (blame?) for that one's mine, since I lent Dave Pulver (author
of G:R) _The Dragon Never Sleeps_ way back when. I'm fairly sure Cook
appears in a couple of his other bilbiographies. (Still pissed I didn't
manage to get the hairsplitter into either of the UltraTech books).

Do we have any news on whether Glen Cook has completed his new fantasy trilogy? Hopefully, a break will occur and he can start work on a new Black Company book.

Lee,
"Do we have any news on whether Glen Cook has completed his new fantasy trilogy?"
He's hardly had time to do that yet! It's been, what, some months since
he finished the police procedural? (Not yet published *sigh*)
