One of the stories...<br><br>You can see that Cook occasionally recycles.  I&#39;d swear that the end of one of the stories was re-used for the Silver Spike (but I won&#39;t say which because that would be giving spoilers for one short story and one book).  Oh, it wasn&#39;t word for word, but the style of the ending was the same.<br>
<br>If you&#39;ve read The Silver Spike then when you read the short story you&#39;ll know which one I mean.  If you haven&#39;t read The Silver Spike (which should only be read as either the 4th or 5th in the Black Company series) then you have a bunch of possible endings for that book.<br>
<br>If you want to know which one I&#39;m taking about, ask off list and I&#39;ll explain without giving spoilers to those who don&#39;t want them.<br><br>Richard<br>
