And the stories of those soldiers are the stories of Glen Cook's hugely popular "Black Company" novels. If the Joseph Heller of Catch-22 were to tell the story of The Lord of the Rings, it might read like the Black Company books. There is nothing else in fantasy like them.Now, at last, Cook brings the "Glittering Stone" cycle within the Black Company series to an end . . . but an end with many other tales left to tell. As Soldiers Live opens, Croaker is military dictator of all the Taglias, and no Black Company member has died in battle for four years. Croaker figures it can't last. He's right.For, of course, many of the Company's old adversaries are still around. Narayan Singh and his adopted daughter--actually the offspring of Croaker and the Lady--hope to bring about the apocalyptic Year of the Skulls. Other old enemies like Shadowcatcher, Longshadow, and Howler are also ready to do the Company harm. And much of the Company is still recovering from the fifteen years many of them spent in a stasis field.Then a report arrives of an evil spirit, a forvalaka, that has taken over one of their old enemies. It attacks them at a shadowgate--setting off a chain of events that will bring the Company to the edge of apocalypse and, as usual, several steps beyond.Glen Cook is the leading modern writer of epic fantasy noir, and Soldiers Live is Cook at his best. None of his legion of fans will want to miss it. 390310 2000 Soldiers Live (The Chronicle of the Black Company, Books of the Glittering Stone, Book Four) total:326|5:106|4:142|3:66|2:12|1:0| 326 1320 433 8 400899 0812566556 9780812566550 318 8 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174443295m/400899.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/400899.Soldiers_Live 4 0 false Thu Jan 17 13:33:11 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 17 13:33:20 -0800 2008 more...]]> 400899 0812566556 9780812566550 318 8 4.05 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174443295m/400899.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/400899.Soldiers_Live 5 0 false Wed Oct 21 13:02:38 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 13:44:48 -0700 2009 1 I won't spoil the ending except to say that you won't guess it and its exactly the kind of ending this series needed.
