	Great Science-Fiction & Fantasy Works: Glen Cook
		Cook's tales are each a clear exemplar of the phrase "a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts"; even his least-successful books appeal, and his best triumph, despite the fact that when we examine the component elements of Cook's writing, those components are weak or defective.
		Cook's many series tend to have background situations--developing puzzles--that exceed the scope of any one book of them, and the characters, while working their way through the happenings in one book are also advancing, by intent or fortuity, to a solution or resolution of the background situation.
		Cook still scants the mechanics of magic, important even politically in that world, but nonetheless it is quite a tightrope-walking trick to meld the two genres without a serious misstep anywhere, the misstep that would be the short one from sublime to ridiculous; Cook has kept his balance admirably.

	Glen Cook - Black Company Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)

	Onward Elsewhere - Glen Cook Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Cook does a terrific job avoiding the rut that most fantasy books seem to land in where evil and good are very much separate entities.
		As with the Black Company series, Cook does a great job in delving into the corruptness and evil of man. Nearly all of the characters in evil in some way or another, it just really comes down to the degree of evilness that decides what side they are on.
		Cook does a good job of introducing some new characters to the book instead of relying solely on the old characters from the original series.

	Steven Wu's Book Reviews: Black Company, The (Glen Cook)
		Glen Cook's novel describes the day-to-day operations of the Black Company, a mercenary troop that has a storied past (as regaled by the narrator, an Annalist named Croaker).
		Cook does an excellent job with the atmosphere The fantasy world that Cook constructs is fascinating: there are hints of all sorts of weirdness, without anything explicit being said (except about the foklava, which hurts the effect of their introduction).
		Finally, Cook aptly conveys the feeling of being just a grunt, with the gallows humor that accompanies the fear that the next day may be your last (especially when your commanders have little concern for your welfare).

	sffworld.com - Glen Cook and the Black Company
		In many ways, Cook is a precursor to the fantasy style taken up by these later writers: the style of gritty, often explicitly violent "militaristic" fantasy.
		Cook is much better at characters than I feel Erikson is, and so I like Cook better, but many like Erikson's epic sweep over Cook's more personal conflicts.
		Glen Cook's book are an influence on Steven Erikson's books, and are similar in tone - very dark, very violent, BUT unlike Erikson's, not really very deep nor very long, and fairly easy to follow.

	bookideas.com: The Black Company by Glen Cook
		Glen Cook’s Black Company novels have been not just extremely influential in the writing of modern fantasy and also have legions (small legions perhaps) of devoted fans.
		The interactions between the characters were appropriately terse (it is notable that Cook served in the US Navy) and the bizarreness and power of the Taken suitably fantastic and inspiring.
		Cook has presented the warfare between the two sides as a form of post-industrial combat, in which large forces travel backwards and forwards all over the map with several different fronts and co-ordinated actions involving at least some of them.

		Also, Cook introduces several minor plot elements and does very little with them until the end.
		I enjoyed reading this even though at times, I felt that Cook was flat out telling the reader the solution prior to his character's enlightenment.
		Glen Cook is my number one favorite author.

		Glen doesn't run a bookstore out of his house, although his stock is kept in the house and his van; the van is stocked with racks ready to be pulled out and set up in front of/on/behind tables in SF convention dealer rooms.
		Glen's best year ever for writing was 1986, when he was paid $30k gross for six books.
		The plots in Cook's stories are usually pretty tight, though he tends to leave some less important things up in the air (as a result of his sparse style, I think).

	Angry Lead Skies by Glen Cook (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Into this is mixed all the characters accumulated from the previous novels – the Dead Man, Morley, and thirty others – and some sensible thoughts on race relations as practiced in a city in which 30 or so humanoid races live.
		Cook seems to be taking the series further and further into social commentary.
		Not only are Garrett's personal beliefs simply incompatible with the person he must be in that city, but in the last several books a lot of the supporting characters have also grown more 3-dimensional and they, too, seem too modern in their outlook.

		Cook takes a personl approach to the characters which makes the reader become more involved.
		In a genre that is possibly threadbared by overuse of quasimidieval settings (knights/English Castles/etc.), Cook developed a Jerusalem-like city that was completely believable from a socio-political viewpoint, and threw in economic, artistic, and philosophical elements as well.
		The amazing thing is, that while he must have had to use a flow chart to create the thing, he tells the story(stories) in such a way that you don't need to see it for yourself.

		She is the last hope of good in the war against the evil sorceress known as the Lady.
		The ending was totally unexpected and Cook drove me insane with curiosity about: the Lady's real name, what Bomans was looking for and what happened, who Corbie was, which Taken were loyal to the Lady, who would ultimately win in the end.
		Cook writes in a colloquial, spare style which often achieves a weird elegance.

	Instrumentalities of the Night by Glen Cook - Malazan Forums
		In Glen Cook's Tyranny of the Night, a promising start to his series the Instrumentalities of the Night, Cook departs from the mold of most of his previous books, but remains true to that which drives fans of his work.
		Else Tage, the protagonist as much as any in Cooks universes can be said to be such, starts off as seeming a polar opposite in some aspects to the other characters Cook has created: young, in the bloom of youth, confident and, at times, foolishly brave.
		But this, like the majority of the characters Cook has created for a plethora of worlds, is only the tip of the iceberg.

	Burning Void--Reviews: "Shadows Linger," Glen Cook (Black Company 2)
		This is a gritty fantasy series centered upon a mercenary company of soldiers; the tales are told by Croaker, the doctor and current Annalist of the ages-old company.
		Cook vacillates between two extremes, particularly in the early parts of this book.
		Maybe Cook is simply a victim of his own dramatic tales - having set the bar so high in "The Black Company," perhaps almost anything would have felt like an anti-climax.

	The Tower of Fear by Glen Cook
		Cook, author of military science fiction paperbacks, makes his hardcover debut here.
		The Tower of Fear is the last temple of Gorloch, the ancient and bloodthirsty god of the city of Qushmarrah, now supplanted by a gentler god, Aram.
		The story seethes with the conflicts and intrigues within and between the occupying Herodians, their desert allies the Dartars, and Qushmarrah's organized resistance, ``the Living.'' Adding to his sword-and-sorcery adventure a touch of The Arabian Nights, Cook adroitly weaves a complex tale, tying all its threads in a satisfying resolution.
