In a recent anthology of urban fantasy done by George R. R. Martin,starting on page 199, one will find 'The Shadow Thieves,' by Glen Cook. It is Garret, P. I. and is set after Gilded Latten Bones. Strafa is present though only through multiple indirect references The primary female villain is described in terms of her resemblance to Garrett's future grand-mother-in-law, clearly (The) Shadowslinger. Present and active are Garrett, Singe, Penny, The Dead Man, and Scithe with supporting cast. On a reassuring note, Garrett speaks of being engaged, Scithe speaks of Garrett coming down off The Hill to his home on Macunado Street (on which both John Stretch and his hench-rats and the Civil Guard/Committee for Unpublished Security are maintaining an on-going watch, albeit with John Stretch's crew being markedly more efficient)) , and, in addition to the looming threat of the Shadowslinger, Garret also worries about coming up with a dowry and notes his future family-in-laws are driving him crazy...

Re: A Path to Coldness of Heart Cook said in one of his online interviews (there's several up on Youtube) that he expected to be done writing Garrett #14 by the end of 2011. Then he would finish up Working the Gods' Mischief in early 2012, before writing the rest of A Pitiless Rain (the next Black Company book, the two short stories published in the last two years are the first two chapters).

However, rumour has it that Glen Cook has signed a contract for 'Garrett # 14;', I have heard nothing further such as a working title or projected completion date. I know there are many fans of the Dread Empire series, and properly so. However, I have for years found the Garrett, P. I. series unique and fascinating. Though the combination of, well, urban fantasy, more or less, and mode noir is now being used by some other authors, none of them have managed anything to compare with Garrett, P. I. Best Regards for 2012!

Re: A Path to Coldness of Heart Doc D, A Path to Coldness of Heart is not part of the Garrett series. It's part of the Dread Empire series. - Scott On Mon, Jan 2, 2012 at 4:05 PM, <c01demp@aol.com> wrote: When, when...?

I think ebook versions are already being distributed. Amazon lists the hardcopy edition for release on January 10, while Barnes & Noble still lists the release date as January 17. However, I pre-ordered with B&N, and a shipping label was generated on December 31. The holiday means that the order won't actually ship out until tomorrow, January 3, but the book should be in my hands by the end of this week. I can hardly wait! In the meantime, you can "look inside" the book on Amazon here and read the first chapter on The Green Man Review here. Happy New Year to the list, and happy reading in 2012! _______________________________________________ glencook-fans mailing list glencook-fans@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glencook-fans _______________________________________________ glencook-fans mailing list glencook-fans@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glencook-fans _______________________________________________ glencook-fans mailing list glencook-fans@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glencook-fans _______________________________________________ glencook-fans mailing list glencook-fans@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glencook-fans _______________________________________________ glencook-fans mailing list glencook-fans@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glencook-fans
