Subject: (glencook-fans) alternate books
I've just finished the first of a new series by a new author. I picked it up
as a Bantam paperback and it is called "Gardens of the Moon" by Steven Erikson.
I can't believe this author hasn't read the Black Company series. There are
just too many similarities between the characters and the plots of Cook's books
and this first one by Erikson. I would be curious to find if this author
hadn't asked Cook if he could borrow some ideas. That would be a question to
ask him at the convention.
Has anyone else come across this series yet? I would definetly recommend it to
Black Company fans that are looking for something in a similar universe.

Subject: (glencook-fans) SL Spoiler/question
Hello, all.
I am brand new to the list, and have just (about an hour ago) finished
reading Soldiers Live. Everything is clear to me, until the end...what
exactly happened with Croaker and Shivetya? Do they inhabit each
other's minds? Does S get to be Croaker until the body dies, and then
resume being himself? I read this several times, and am totally not
clear.
I have noticed at different times in reviews I have read by readers that
they dislike the changing voice, and that the books covering the
Captivity years were not as worth reading as the others, because Croaker
and the rest of the captured were not in them. Personally, I found that
refreshing. The fact thet Cook can switch the voice of the writing that
well is incredible. Also, I found support for a longer series in this,
since it is about the Black Company, and not Croaker.
I hope I'm not saying things that have been discussed, buried, dug up,
rediscussed, burned to a crisp and scattered in the wind.
Thanks!
Jay
