im sure this list is dead this time ;)
Dead is a relative term. Just express an opinion on some part of a =
Black Company story and see what happens.
As an example:
In 'Soldiers Live' I found [to me atleast] an extremely hilarious =
scene. It was after the Company had come back through the Gate, with all =
of Tobo's shadow friends.=20
'Catcher was in her stump disguise looking for BooBoo and Singh. =
And up comes one of the big shadow dogs. It lifts it's leg and proceeds =
to give 'Catcher a shower. Boy did she get mad. Of course it also kept =
her from finding the two fugitives.
I was laughing so hard at that point, I nearly dropped the book.

No, it goes to sleep occasionally.
There are quite a few international subscribers on this list like yourself.
Especially those in Poland and Russia who are just now reading Cook for the
first time.
I'd love to hear the non-American perspective of Cook's books.

Cook's books in Russia were first published in 1993-1995, so
we were reading BC for quite some time now.

Hi,
I'm reading a Garrett book for the first time--the only one they had in
the bookstore, the lastest (Faded something or other). It seems *very*
busy (I'm halfway through it); is that because I'm coming into the
middle of the series, or are they all like that?

They are all a little like that but I think the later ones
suffer for it. I'd recommend reading Sweet Silver Blues where the
characters are introduced and things aren't quite so crazy. That's
also my favorite of the Garrett series.

I think I like Dead Brass Shadows best. It's a bit of a downer, but it's
got the tightest writing of any of them.

I finished my Glen Cook collection about six months ago; the only book I'm
missing is "Sung in Blood" and from what everyone has said it is impossible

used book stores (I'll bet that Glen Cook fans tend to do that a lot) as
much out of habit as anything. I have a friend who introduced me to the
Black Company many years ago, and I'm hoping to piece together a few other
series to present to him as gifts, as a way of saying thanks.
Has anyone other than me noticed that the middle books of Glen Cook
trilogies are always the hardest to find?

Cook's books in Poland were first published in 1993 .. in Alfa edition. The first
was Sweet silver Blues ( Slodki srebrny blues ) with Tim Hildebrand's picture on
the cover.
Now is second edition ...

Just my opinion, by the books keep getting busier. The first one is
actually straight forward, the next - a bit more complicated because it
contained elements from the first one, and so on.
The busiest part? Garrett's girls friends. He seems to pick up a new
one in each book while most of the old ones show up once and a while.
The next busiest part? The mob scene. It is constantly changing, but
all the changes are logical ones that build on the old books.
The cases are almost straight forward in comparison.
