Lee,
"Do we have any news on whether Glen Cook has completed his new fantasy trilogy?"
He's hardly had time to do that yet! It's been, what, some months since
he finished the police procedural? (Not yet published *sigh*)

I'm glad you did - I know many people that when they see that type of
reference they'll run out and buy the book. Anything that gets more
people reading Cook is a good thing.

Surprisingly enough it's not in the bilbiography of Robots - just in
that quote.

Ayep, although the suffering involved in hunting down a copy, even
then, ain't minimal.

Weird - I'll drop him a note and tell him to add it to the
bibliography if they go to another edition :-).

Subject: (glencook-fans) Newbie intro
Hi,
Just subscribed to the list and thought I'd take a moment to introduce
myself. I first read and enjoyed the first 3 books of the Black Company
series over 10 (15? it's been a while) years ago. Recently I was
delighted to discover through the Sci Fi Book Club that there were a
number of other Black Company novels available, which I have since
devoured. Although the subsequent books were of uneven quality ("Bleak
Seasons", in particular, seemed quite tedious), I thought the series
finished on a relatively high note with "Water Sleeps" and "Soldiers Live".
I've been a sci fi addict for quite a long time now. Recently I've been
reading Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series and Terry Goodkind's "Sword of
Truth" books. Other authors I've read extensively include Heinlein,
Eddings, Clarke, Asimov, Feist, George R. R. Martin, and many others I
can't recall at the moment.
Anyway, I'm currently working my way through the mail list archives and
the FAQ and looking forward to new discussions on the list.
Jim Hunt
