***still, spoilers**** ***still, no seriously*** Oh, shiny! I hadn't even considered that, and it was right in front of me the whole time! Maybe the witchy-girl from Bone Eaters is another copy girl... -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 9/18/18, grim <grim213@aol.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [Glencook-fans] I'm going to make a prediction about Pitiless Rain...

Minor spoiler for Port of Shadow's after the jump.

Wikipedia has Pitiless Rain as the last Black Company book, release date unknown.  Based on a passage from Port of Shadows, an non-Y2K compliant crystal ball, and a whole lot of wild speculation, I think Pitiless Rain is going to be a *prequel* to The Black Company.

"But Matt," you say, "we already have a post-White Rose short story:  Bone Eaters!"

Yup.  Standalone, I think.

The phrase
