Winter's Dream
by troy.lefman＠yahoo.com 05 Aug '12

05 Aug '12

Sorry if this has been discussed previously, but looking at Glen Cook offerings on one of my favorite sites results in a book called Winter's Dream. Released by Subterranean April 2012 in HC. I can't tell from the cover if it's a new story, collection, part of BC or DE, etc. Any news on this? Retail at one site is $38.25. Thanks, Troy Sent as securely as possible.

A Path to Coldness of Heart & more
by Troy Lefman 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

I've finally started reading (after finishing the short stories). I generally don't care for recaps in stories, but these seem more informative and useful than most I've read. An Empire Unacquainted (just noticed it's spelled Unacquanted in the e-version) with Defeat - I really liked the Vengeful Dragon stories. Might be the first person similar to Black Company (my most favorite) or the different tale within the Dread Empire world. Or both. Apologies if this has been posted before, but where can I get Black Company eBooks (nook preferred)? I have Soldiers Live. And I have the paperbacks; just would like another set in case I lend. -Remember: Life is what you make of it! -Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

Order for Star Fishers?
by Richard Chilton 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hi. Just wondering if anyone can tell me where "Passage at Arms" fits in the Star Fisher trilogy. I know that it's a stand alone and that it was written after the trilogy, but I found it listed in one place as book "0" of the trilogy. Should it be read before the other three, after the other three, or does it not matter? Thanks for any help you can give, Richard

The Darkwar Series
by Richard Chilton 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

I finally was able to track down the short story Darkwar and it's changed my opinion of the Darkwar trilogy. Yes, I still feel that Cook wasn't able to build much sympathy for the Meth or the main character in that series, but that matters a bit less now. I now view the entire trilogy as the prelude for the short story. Viewed that way it's a bit long, but it sets the scene for a great short story. One set centuries after the events in Ceremony. One that could have shared a title with the third Star War prequel. One that I wish had been in an extra chapter in Ceremony - or maybe not. It would have been jarring to switch directly between Meth mindsets. If you haven't read that short story and you've read the Darkwar trilogy, it's wonderful. If you haven't read that short story and you haven't read the Darkwar trilogy, it completely spoils the ending (and much of the plot). In short, I now feel that reading that trilogy was time well spent. Richard

Re: [Glencook-fans] The Darkwar Series

A confession. While looking for the correct order to read Star Fishers, I checked Wikipedia. I didn't find the correct order there but was reminded of the existence of the Darkwar short story - which appeared in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine (December 1982). I then went looking. After not finding it for sale I went looking for torrents. I found one at http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/39987510/?tab=summary It has several (4? 5?) different versions of each Glen's novels. I own the entire Dread Empire series, the Black Company Series, the Garrett series, the Instrumentalities of the Night series, the Darkwar trilogy, and recently bought the Star Fishers and Passage to Arms from Amazon. As for the short stories there, all except "Darkwar" and Raker (which is a chapter of the Black Company novel - and one I'd previously found at a library) were collected in the "An Empire Unacquainted with Defeat" Dread Empire collection. If there was a way to buy that short story I would, but instead I downloaded 57k of that file. Oh, and if I remember correctly, the only real difference between the short story Raker and the chapter in the Black Company is that the short story gives the company's strenght at that point. If I recall correctly it was less than 200. Richard
