Whoops! OK, call me an idiot. Once again, not having my browser
wide enough to see that right hand column has made me miss stuff. Have
you considered moving the column to the left side as is standard on most
web pages so that idiots like me can see it? :-)
Also, the "What's New" section didn't mention the "Fiction Factory"
article.

Subject: (glencook-fans) Black Company vs. George R.R. Martin
A lot of people on different forums have recommended
the 'Song of Fire and Ice' series by George R.R.
Martin. I just started the second book, 'A Clash of
Kings' and finished the first book, 'A Game of
Thrones' recently. I'd recommend reading it as well.
It's set to be a six book series (the third book just
came out). I noticed some mild similarities with the
Black Company..

The defenders of the Wall in the farthest northern
reaches of the Seven Kingdoms is an order by the name
of the Night's Watch. They where all black and give up
their past lives when they join. They can never leave.
No sex, wifes, children. Of course certain members
still visit whores. The other members of the Night's
Watch are like brothers, their only family now. A
majority of the Watch are not the nicest or the most
law-abiding citizens either. It shares some
similarities with the Black Company.
And on pg. 495 of 'A Game of Thrones':
"Yet men die," she said. "Jhogo told me. Some of the
traders have eunuchs with them, huge men who strangle
thieves with wisps of silk. That way no blood is shed
and the gods are not angered."
Sounds like the Deceivers with their rumels.
And there is a comet. Every possible side interepts it
as a sign (good or bad) directed at them. Similar to
the comet in the first three(?) books of the BC.
Anyways..
