The author of many novels of fantasy and science fiction, including the bestselling Chronicles of the Black Company series, GLEN COOK lives in St. Louis, Missouri.
"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"
"A complex and compelling tapestry...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 cliche 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," on "The Tyranny of the Night" "Cook's talent
for combining gritty realism and high fantasy provides a singular
edge."
"--Library Journal "on "Water Sleeps"
"Cook provides a rich world of assorted races, cultures, and
religions; his characters combine the mythic or exotic with the
realistic, engaging in absorbing alliances, enmities, and
double-crosses."
"--Publishers Weekly "on "Bleak Seasons"
"Sheer page-turning fun!"
--Robin McKinley on "Bleak Seasons"
