And the stories of those soldiers are the stories of Glen Cook's hugely popular \"Black Company\" novels. If the Joseph Heller of\u003ci\u003e Catch-22\u003c\/i\u003e were to tell the story of \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e, it might read like the Black Company books. There is nothing else in fantasy like them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, 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 \u003ci\u003eSoldiers Live\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“With the Black Company series Glen Cook single-handedly changed the face of fantasy.”—\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Steven Erikson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChronicles of The Black Company\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Black Company \u003c\/i\u003e(The First Chronicle)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eShadows Linger \u003c\/i\u003e(The Second Chronicle)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe White Rose \u003c\/i\u003e(The Third Chronicle)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Silver Spike\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eShadow Games \u003c\/i\u003e(The First Book of the South)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDreams of Steel \u003c\/i\u003e(The Second Book of the South)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBleak Seasons \u003c\/i\u003e(Book One of Glittering Stone)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eShe Is the Darkness \u003c\/i\u003e(Book Two of Glittering Stone)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWater Sleeps \u003c\/i\u003e(Book Three of Glittering Stone)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSoldiers Live \u003c\/i\u003e(Book Four of Glittering Stone)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePort of Shadows\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLies Weeping \u003c\/i\u003e(Book One of A Pitiless Rain)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eOmnibus editions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eChronicles of the Black Company\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (comprising \u003ci\u003eThe Black Company\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShadows Linger\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe White Rose\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Books of the South\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (comprising \u003ci\u003eShadow Games\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDreams of Steel\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Silver Spike\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eReturn of the Black Company\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (comprising \u003ci\u003eBleak Seasons \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eShe Is the Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Many Deaths of the Black Company\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (comprising \u003ci\u003eWater Sleeps \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSoldiers Live\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tor Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139273736432,"sku":"9781429911115","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781429911115_p0.jpg?v=1763748807","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781429911115","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
