Subject: (glencook-fans) books by Glen
Hi, all,
Well, turns out I did go to Archon on Saturday, and I spoke briefly with
Glen. Points of interest:
His new police-procedural book is called "The Butcher's Apprentice". He
said his agent doesn't really like it--finds the characters engaging,
but... He has no idea what will be done with the book.
Besides the Garrett book coming out spring of 2002 ("Angry Lead Skies"),
he expects one more--the last. I commented to him that what I have
liked most in the 4 I've read (the first three plus "Faded Steel Heat",
#9) is the political arc that develops in the series as a whole. He
replied that he found the background increasingly of interest, and that
it is the finishing up of that background political stuff that will
constitute the end of the series.
Missing copies of older Garretts? I'm afraid there's no good news from
Glen: He says they're all out of print save for the most recent, and
the only oldies he has are the first, "Sweet Silver Blues", and the one
I picked up, "Dread Brass Shadows" (#5)
About the Black Company: He said he knows just where he wants to take
the story, but it's very much on the back burner, and he has no idea
when he'll be able to get to it. Things with higher priority are the
last Garrett book and the new trilogy he's contracted to write (a "fat
book" trilogy).
At the con, George R. R. Martin conducted an interview of Robert Jordan.
The subject of long series came up, and Jordan commented that he'd seen
a web-based poll asking the question, which of these do people think are
likely to be completed first:
a) Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" series
b) Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series
c) King's "Dark Tower" series
d) Cook's "Dread Empire" series (or maybe it was "Black Company"?)
e) the heat death of the universe
The poll thus far records (e) as having a 5-1 lead over any of the other answers...
Steve
