    Best Series I've read in years

    Exciting, engaging, gritty, and funny. I really enjoyed the camaraderie of the Company, the villainous employers, the magic that is flash and bang, and subtlety, it seems more real and natural. Magic is something powerful and rare and strange here, like in GRRM's Song of Ice and Fire series, or the Lord of the Rings. Not overused.
    I've already got the next volume bought. Definitely recommended for fans of adult fantasy (not erotica haha), or war fiction.

    Sidenote: don't be off-put by the strange names. Most people in this world go by a moniker, knowing someone's real name gives you power over them. Or in the Company's case, they give up their old name and associations to become part of the Company, and their past is dead.

    Interesting

    An interesting look at what Vietnam would be like with spells and flying whales instead of mortars and helicopters. I joke, but I do not intend to mislead, the moral ambiguity found in the story coupled with a lot of the tactics used by the Company is reminiscent of what many think Vietnam was like. Lots of misdirection and ambushes while minimizing full blown conflict. The characters aren't heroes by any stretch of the imagination, the narrator, Croaker, passes no judgment on his evil overlord, The Lady, let alone the acts of rape and pillaging that members of the Company take while in the conflict. Its refreshing to find a fantasy book that has humans as characters instead of moral extremes of angelic do-gooder and soulless villain.

    reprint of an military fantasy saga

    ¿The Black Company¿. The Black Company is a troop of mercenaries who know the risks they take on all their missions especially whenever they inter one of their comrades, which is frequent. They exclusively serve the great malevolent sorceress Lady. However, their assignment has changed as rumors abound of the rebirth of the good White Rose they must kill this possible reincarnation of a long dead savior before the Prophesy takes affect, but first they must find her while also slaughtering those who protect her. ¿Shadows Linger¿. The Black Company still works for the evil Lady as honor means adhering to their contract with her even when many of these soldiers know they fight for the wrong side. They prepare for the latest skirmish with the rabble and those they assume are false prophesy followers allegedly defending the White Rose. However, a twist of fate has occurred as the Black Company rescue a mute girl who brings with her the light of goodness she is the White Rose. ¿The White Rose¿. The Black Company has changed sides now that they have met the White Rose. On the Plains of Fear they prepare to battle their former employer the immoral Lady. However, once again fate takes a spin when the most lethal vilest creature ever known, the Dominator is reborn. This omnibus collection of the three 1980s Black Company military fantasy saga will please fans of Glen Cook as these are well written exciting tales that were one of the first (if not the premier) series to use real war horrors and atrocities inside a fantasy thriller.

    Fantasy, only twisted

    Tis book is an excellent twist on the classic fantasy setting, combining some of the most fantastic of happenings with excellent humor. Duty and Honor to the ocntract war with the morality of right and wrong. This book wakes you up and keep syou on the edge of your seat the entire ride.

    Recommended for those looking for a change.

    My experience with this book was bittersweet. While enjoying the story as a whole, there were definite moments of displeasure. It took a while to adjust to the authors writing style, and character detail was not as deep as I had hoped it would be. The story itself was definitely original and enjoyable, but it just didn't have that special "spark" I was expecting.

    Awesome

    Out of every book I have ever read, this is my favorite. It has everything you could ever want in a book, and besides that it is well written. The characters are well developed and the plot is fantastic. I would recomend this book and all of his others to anyone.

    Absolutely Fantastic

    Gritty is an understatement; this story dumps you head first into the blood, snot, stink and filth of battle and war. It's action understated, subtle magic, and all out sensual. Read it slow, follow the story; you can't breeze through these books for entertainment, you'll not enjoy them. One of my top rated series of all times, easily. In my opinion the subtletly of the plot, the realism, the characterization and even the choppy writing make the 1st 3 Black Company books some of the most enjoyable and fantasitic books in the Fantasy field. Head and shoulders above most of the trash we're buried in now; worlds past the hack and slash and hum-drum contrived routine of Terry Brooks, Raymond Feist, Jim Butcher (gag), R.A. Salvatore, Terry Goodkind (yea, his male centric ego driven self fantasies get really old so he can join on the crud bus with the rest of these hacks)and the gaggle of other crummy writers that pollute the book shelves. Glen Cook's Black company belongs with Tolkien, Erickson, Donaldson, Hobb, Martin and Herbert's Dune.

    Blah

    I don't know why these Black Company books are so popular? The writing is choppy, the characters are very superficial, the military background is undeveloped. I thought the first three books were weak, and disappointing. The story never fills out or fills in. I guess if I was 15 I might find them cool, but I'm not and the books are not either. Save your time.
