Starfishers/Passage at Arms
by brookeawheeler＠netscape.net 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

I just finished /Passage at Arms/. Excellent book, but now I have a question. Several years ago, I read the Starfisher books, and I seem to recall something about the Ulants in those books. "Big Rock Candy Mountain" is also briefly mentioned in /Passage at Arms /and I seem to recall that as well from Starfishers. Help me out here, folks... Am I confused, or does /Passage/ take place in the same universe as the others? Hopefully someone has read these more recently or has a better memory than me. :) TIA. -- --==From the mailbox of B. Wheeler==-- BE ALERT!!!! (The world needs more lerts...)

GlenCook Wiki & the Black Company
by Michael Hodum 16 Mar '07

16 Mar '07

1. Is anyone here involved in the GlenCookWiki? For those who don't know, it is an alterable encyclopedia of Glen's fiction. It needs more attention but quite a bit is already fleshed out. http://en.glencook.org/index.php/Main_Page It's the sort of thing that would benefit from a few visits from each of us every once in awhile, editing and adding as we see fit. (My handle there is Rook Fasthands.) 2. My first post here on the fanlist was during summer 2002 (under the name Welly). In it, I tracked down the 10 original Taken & the Shadowmasters and proffered a small theory about them. A good debate followed, primarily between me and David Ainsworth. David rejected the theory in favor of viewing it as an "indeterminate possibility", and since then --it was just about 5 years ago-- I came to agree with him: the theory is quite possible yet unlikely to be true. As such, although Nightcrawler, the Faceless Man, and Moonbiter may have been lost suspiciously in the North, and their bodies were never found by Otto and Hagop, they likely were not the 3 slain would-be-shadowmasters that Uncle Doj mentioned (those 3 in my view now were more likely to have been unnamed foreigners who accompanied Longshadow). 3. Starting back in August of 2001 there was a discussion about the most evil character in the Black Company series. I agreed (and still do) with someone who said that Croaker was the most evil of all: he knowingly orchestrated the destruction of a shadowgate, enabling the shadows of the plain to flood in and torture an entire world of people to death. The Dominator may have cruelly leveled provinces and kingdoms, but he never brought an entire world to the very brink of destruction. Anyone have any thoughts on this? 4. I am having trouble navigating the archives at http://mailman.xmission.com/lurker/list/glencook-fans.en.html. How do I find the posts between August 2004 and now? how far back do those archives go? I found a different listing that had really old archives UP TO Aug 2004, but that archive simply ends there. 5. The last digest I got was August 2004 (digest #288). Was there a change of hands or something after that point / a lacuna of posting? -Mike ------------------------------- Michael R.

Well, I'm out fifty bucks [1], thanks. Much. Really. I only have one copy of PaA and it's getting battered. I think I'll make a point at retail and get Sung in Blood next time I'm in Borders.

Boy and I glad somebody here linked to the Wiki...
by J. Buck Caldwell 25 Oct '06

Greetings, fellow Cook fans! I've been trying to get into this mailing list for about 2 years now, and keep getting broken links. Finally managed to find a way in after noticing a hit on the site from the archive page. I'm the guy who runs the Wiki, you're all welcome to come along. The Interview has been posted, in transcript form, anyway. Seems none of my friends & family were thoughtful enough to have a Video-IN card, so I can't get the damned thing off analog media yet.

Greetings, Since its been ages since I've seen anything come through, I thought I'd kick the can a little. Anyone here involved with the Glen Cook WIKI? http://en.glencook.org/index.php/Main_Page Noticed that the author interviewed Glen at Archon in St Louis last week, but hasn't posted it yet. Anyone have any news/tidbits to share? John
