He talks of continuing the Black Company series but not sure how well that will go. Croaker makes those books along with the Lady and I just can't see much comming of another book.

I agree that Croaker makes those books.  The ones in which is largely absent from lack a certain something.  He doesn't have to be the narrator (the one Lady narrated was wonderful, but the character has to be there.

Yes, I know that 'the character' of those books is the Company itself, but the Company only seems to live when Croaker's around.
