Ratings and reviews

I can't understand how Glenn Cook is not a household name as Tolkien. Among the elite fantasy authors, he's up there with Bakker, Gaiman, Abercrombie and Lawrence, and his fiction is going on 40years in print. Gritty, disjointed penmanship makes the realism, as well as excellent use of Murphy's law. The characters are all faceted, none wholly good nor evil. And a plot you can't predict... Best read I've had in ages, and books I won't lend out.

Glen Cook doesn't give you every swing of the sword, but that takes nothing away from this story of brothers in arms. The characters are the story here, not the fighting. This story is as much advanced by the lulls in action as it the parts wherein the Black Company fights for it's very existence. Glen Cook writes in a manner that would make any veteran nostalgic for his unit of old.

These first three books of the black company are a story I have loved so much its hard to express. story's of regular men in situations beyond there ability to control.like real life and yet they face there lot .
