IF, and that's a mighty big IF, Port of Shadows is based on the various short stories that have been released over the last few years, I think Port will be 2.5. I *think* only Tides Elba take place between books 1 and 2. The other 4 take place between book 2 and 3. Though I suppose it's possible the book will span the whole timeframe... -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 4/25/17, Lawrence Jenab <larryjenab@gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [Glencook-fans] Glencook-fans / Black Company as TV series To: "Glen Cook: Science Fiction/Fantasy Author" <glencook-fans@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Tuesday, April 25, 2017, 11:35 AM You'd think they could spell "Croaker" right. And is Port of Shadows book 1.5 (as the earlier press release and rumors say) or 3.5 (as Tor says)?

I don't think  this company produces content its self.  http://www.imglobaltv.com/  scripted-slate/  This shows several projects that sound interesting to  me.   "Cat's Cradle" is listed in association with  FX and "I, rebel" is listed with Amazon  There is no listing for black company on this page yet  Without a proven track record for 'IM Global  Television' this might all be vaporware, or worse yet  not up to fan standards.  I will be remembering to keep expectations low and hopeful  for a completed project.  Thanks for the heads up!  From: glencook-fans <glencook-fans-bounces@  mailman.xmission.com> on behalf of Steve Harris  <harrissg@slu.edu>  Sent: Monday, April 24, 2017 3:49 PM  To: Glen Cook: Science Fiction/Fantasy Author  Subject: Re: [Glencook-fans] Glencook-fans / Black  Company as TV series     Yes, i was just about to say that the  reference to "Port of Shadows" (Book 1.5) is the  most exciting piece of news in the piece :)  I think Eliza Dushku would kick ass as The Lady :)   And it's fitting that she be called the star of the  series; I'd say Lady's transformation is the most  significant moral growth journey in the series.  And  it's really neat that she comments on the moral   issues as paramount: she gets it :)  Stacey  On  Mon, Apr 24, 2017 at 4:44 PM, Lawrence Jenab  <larryjenab@gmail.com>  wrote:  And let's not forget that buried in the  story is a publication date for Port of Shadows.

I can't see them having the  "heroes" of the company raping the defeated Amazon  company.  Or some of the other nasty stuff?  In short, I fear the evils committed by the company will be  whitewashed...  And having a big name as The Lady? That strongly implies  that she will appear sooner (and more often) in the movies  than in the books.  That or we will see things that Croaker  doesn't, which will be a big departure for the story.  Still, overall, I see this as a good thing.  It should get  more people reading the books, and if they make this show it  will put lots of cash in Cook's pocket.  Jim Butcher  was a best selling urban fantasy writer for years before he  got a short running TV show   and he credits that show for making him financially  secure.  Richard  ______________________________ _________________  glencook-fans mailing list  glencook-fans@mailman.xmission  .com  https://mailman.xmission.com/c  gi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glenco ok-fans  ______________________________ _________________  glencook-fans mailing list  glencook-fans@mailman.xmission  .com  https://urldefense.proofpoint.  com/v2/url?u=https-3A__mailman .xmission.com_cgi-2Dbin_  mailman_listinfo_glencook-  2Dfans&d=DwICAg&c=Pk_HpaIpE_  jAoEC9PLIWoQ&r=qpoN7ZOAp4c__  BYFvONL2A&m=V2UJ2mXhXmrSpZGj48  TC9BdzKdci6E01AbI4CcaN5Hk&s=3t  3dbliUWcuFeTDGqZxeo4CRLBpUH1t7 BixW64aCrVo&e=  ______________________________  _________________  glencook-fans mailing  list  glencook-fans@mailman.  xmission.com  https://mailman.xmission.com/  cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ glencook-fans     ______________________________  _________________  glencook-fans mailing  list  glencook-fans@mailman.  xmission.com  https://mailman.xmission.com/  cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ glencook-fans  ______________________________  _________________  glencook-fans mailing  list  glencook-fans@mailman.  xmission.com  https://mailman.xmission.com/  cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ glencook-fans  ______________________________  _________________  glencook-fans mailing list  glencook-fans@mailman.  xmission.com  https://mailman.xmission.com/  cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ glencook-fans  ______________________________ _________________  glencook-fans mailing list  glencook-fans@mailman. xmission.com  https://mailman.xmission.com/ cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ glencook-fans ______________________________ _________________ glencook-fans mailing list glencook-fans@mailman. xmission.com https://mailman.xmission.com/ cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ glencook-fans _______________________________________________ glencook-fans mailing list glencook-fans@mailman.xmission.com https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/glencook-fans
