I was just browsing through Amazon and I was startled to see recommend to me a new book by Glen, "A Path to Coldness of Heart"--last of a 4-volume series revisiting the Dread Empire. How the the heck did I miss roll-out of this, apparently starting 9 years ago with "A Cruel Wind" (then "A Fortress in Shadow" and "Reap the East Wind")? (Though I do have the short-story collection, "An Empire Unacquainted with Defeat.") I don't recall ever seeing these in Barnes & Noble. Are there paperbacks yet? Any thoughts on this series? Stacey
