Reviews
"Timely and timeless...The author of the Black Company series brings a stark realism to his tales of imaginary lands." -- Library Journal (starred review) on The Tyranny of the Night "Complex and compelling...It is a powerful fantasy, combining a fast-moving plot with an introduction into this world of patriarchal schism, greedy churchmen and nobles, and cynical soldiers bent on survival." -- VOYA on The Tyranny of the Night "The thing about Glen Cook is that with The Black Company he singlehandedly changed the face of fantasy--something a lot of people didn't notice and maybe still don't. He brought the story down to a human level, dispensing with the cliché archetypes of princes, kings, and evil sorcerers. Reading his stuff was like reading Vietnam War fiction on peyote." --Steven Erikson, author of Gardens of the Moon, "Timely and timeless…The author of the Black Company series brings a stark realism to his tales of imaginary lands." --Library Journal(starred review) onThe Tyranny of the Night "Complex and compelling…It is a powerful fantasy, combining a fast-moving plot with an introduction into this world of patriarchal schism, greedy churchmen and nobles, and cynical soldiers bent on survival." --VOYAonThe Tyranny of the Night "The thing about Glen Cook is that withThe Black Companyhe singlehandedly changed the face of fantasy--something a lot of people didn't notice and maybe still don't.
