My favorite inconsistency is the cover of the first Garett book -
"Sweet Silver Blues" - with Denny's family (looking quite dwarfish)
holding machine guns of some sort.

From: David George <d.s.george@verizon.net>
Subject: RE: (glencook-fans) The Garrett Files
Nah, it looks a little more like an Uzi (Israeli). The
magazine is in the grip. The Schmeisser had its magazine
forward of, and separate from, the grip. When I say a
little more like an Uzi I mean only a little. It's a
made-up gun.
This has to be my least favorite Glen Cook cover. It looks
like a lame attempt to lure in the traditional (at least at
the time) US fantasy market readers--they would have been
putting yet another Xanth crime on the best sellers list at
about this time. There are no guns, the Tates are not
dwarves or gnomes, and these guys on the cover have big
pointy elf ears that could get them airborne in a stiff
wind. Just proves the proverb.
I wonder: do romance novel readers complain about the
covers on their books? "That antebellum Southern Mansion
looks nothing like the one described in the book. And they
drew her breasts too large. And the man's hair is too
long, etc." For the most part, science fiction and fantasy
book covers, to the extent they attempt to actually depict
events in the book, fail miserably. The closest thing I've
seen to getting close to right are the covers of the last
couple of David Weber's Honor Harrington books, where the
ships shown look like the ships described. Prior covers
had ships that looked nothing like those described (of
course) and they still tend to depict scenes that don't
really happen, but which look cool to a graphic artist.
Ahhhh, everyone's a critic. And I buy the books anyway, so
what does it matter?

Subject: (glencook-fans) The Future of The Black Company
I am new to this list so please bear with me. I have
followed the list for a long time but never posted and
I wanted to say something about the future of The
Company.
The end of Soldiers Live I thought was a very fitting
end to the story of Croaker and Lady. As I saw posted
here, Glen may be persuaded to write more of the
company but not in current timeframe or not with the
same "version" of the company. This I think is a good
thing.
What I have seen here are alot of people that want the
domination or similar stories and debates for and
against it. I personally am on the "do not" side of
the debate. I am thinking in more "grand" sceme of
things I guess.
What i would think would be interesting is the
beginning of the Company and other companies from
Khatovar. If there is one thing that Glen does
exceptionally well, its develope characters and blur
the lines of good and evil. He has shown that you can
love or hate the good and evil, feel sorry for both,
cheer for both. he has also show that history is a
matter of perspective. The rogues and renegades and
murderers of the Company (they all have their history)
are also some of the most heroic people. This could be
the same for the company when it started. There are
documents talking about the evil of the company when
it first came forth but are those documents accurate?
and what turned them into an honorable company over
time?
Anyways, learning the origins of the company, seeing
the glittering plain for the first time, the "religon"
of the company, and not only the motivations of the
company itself but the individuals who were in the
company when they first left their homes never to
return (or not) would make a fine story. it also could
give more insight to the current company without
stepping into it and perpetuate what I consider the
best ending to a series I have ever read.
also, glen has countless doors open to him with the
worlds of the glittering plain. different cultures and
magic, people and places that The Black Company may
have visited somewhere in time, or perhaps another
Free Company. It is my sincere hope that Glen leaves
Lady and Croaker to their destinies for now and when
we read the annals in our minds they will live again.
just my 2 cents. hope I did not offend anyone.
Cross
