Вчера приключих с последната 10-а книга от поредицата за Черния Отряд и... какво да кажа - напълно съгласна съм с едно от мненията които прочетох докато рових за free download на други негови книги из нета - това е един от може би най-недооценените съвременни автори на фентъзи! : /
ето всъщност едно мнение, което до голяма степен изразява собственото ми виждане (малко ме мързи да го превеждам точно сега):

I have been reading fantasy genre books since high school. With over twenty years of experience in the hobby, I am pretty confident in my opinion of Glen Cook's Black Company Series.
The beauty of the series lies in how Cook makes fantasy gritty and realistic. He draws you into a family of unlikely and unheroic heroes. Like the main character, the reader can actually develop fondness for toothless and disreputable types who'd stick a dagger in an innocent back for money. It's wierd, but you can actually buy the mercenary point of view in these books.
You have to understand that I am a mother and an English teacher. You wouldn't think someone like me would be reading page after page after page hoping to see my "buddies," the Company, get out of another mess.
AND, as an English teacher, I can really appreciate Glen Cook's use of voice. His technique of using first person for multiple characters is intriguing. What's more, he uses it with surprising effectiveness. I can recognize Croaker's voice, as well as Lady's, Murgen's and Sleepy's voices. I was completely blown away in Water Sleeps by Sleepy's intellectual detachment. It was a risky leap for Cook, since we all love Croaker's grumbly good humor, but it really worked for that book. I must say, however, as I enjoy the middle of Soldier's Live, that I am glad to have my old buddy Croaker back. I find myself slowing down so as not to lose him forever too soon.
Cook is like Faulkner that makes sense. He is an earthy writer exploring alternate realities from several distinct points of view. You have to appreciate that.

та, въпросът ми е: откъде мога да сваля други книги на Глен Кук (на eng)? Мисля че поредицата за Гарет ми привлече погледа, или пък трилогията Deathwar, Darkwar нещо такова... Всякакъв хелп ще се възнаграждава с подходяща почерпка и признателност до гроб,.. или поне до изчитането на намерения "матрял" :)

Soldiers live. And wonder why.
