I'm glad you did - I know many people that when they see that type of
reference they'll run out and buy the book. Anything that gets more
people reading Cook is a good thing.

Surprisingly enough it's not in the bilbiography of Robots - just in
that quote.

Ayep, although the suffering involved in hunting down a copy, even
then, ain't minimal.

Weird - I'll drop him a note and tell him to add it to the
bibliography if they go to another edition :-).

Subject: (glencook-fans) Newbie intro
Date: 03 Feb 2003 19:02:34 -0800
Hi,
Just subscribed to the list and thought I'd take a moment to introduce
myself. I first read and enjoyed the first 3 books of the Black Company
series over 10 (15? it's been a while) years ago. Recently I was
delighted to discover through the Sci Fi Book Club that there were a
number of other Black Company novels available, which I have since
devoured. Although the subsequent books were of uneven quality ("Bleak
Seasons", in particular, seemed quite tedious), I thought the series
finished on a relatively high note with "Water Sleeps" and "Soldiers Live".
I've been a sci fi addict for quite a long time now. Recently I've been
reading Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series and Terry Goodkind's "Sword of
Truth" books. Other authors I've read extensively include Heinlein,
Eddings, Clarke, Asimov, Feist, George R. R. Martin, and many others I
can't recall at the moment.
Anyway, I'm currently working my way through the mail list archives and
the FAQ and looking forward to new discussions on the list.
Jim Hunt

Welcome to the list, Jim. Things have been a bit quiet lately, but we get
fired up once in a while.

Hello, Jim, and welcome. You'll find that the list goes through
sporadic quiet periods and then gets busy for a few weeks when someone
says something to spark people's interest.
I tend to agree with your assessment of the series. I found
"Bleak Seasons" to be rather tedious and was glad to see it pick up
again in the last couple books.
Have you read any other Glen Cook stories?
Steve
