I think Bill asked this, but I'm curious too, as I just passed the third chapter of BC. I'd like to know what everyone *thinks* the differences are between the Raker chapter and the original short story. If you happen to know for sure, hold off on your response. I'd like to know personal feelings.
I would think that there would be a bit more background on the Company and the last paragraph (explaining where they went afterward) would be removed.
Good point. I don't think that he would explain how and why the Company got to the north (or even that they were ever in the south) but I do think that there would be a bit more lines like "One-eye and Goblin have been squabbling for ages" and "our merry band of cutthroats." Short stories have little time for back story, but there is at least exposition about the current situation.
