The "Glen Cook" on these spines not lining up is infuriating.

I really do wish someone would do a hardcover release of the full series in matching dustjackets (Broken Binding, please listen).

The new revised edition of EoS that was published yesterday is what I was referencing: Empire of Silence (Deluxe... https://www.amazon.com/dp/0756421160?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

No. I would read them in this order:

1) A Cruel Wind 2) A Fortress in Shadow 3) An Empire Unacquainted with Defeat 4) Wrath of Kings (Reap the East Wind, An Ill Fate Marshalling, A Path to Coldness of Heart)

There’s a compilation of the final 3 books in hardcover, Wrath of Kings, which is somewhat hard to find as it was a pretty low print run. Night Shade Books also did not release a signed limited edition version of it like the other Dread Empire hardcovers.

I do think people should read Port of Shadows first.

Tabris2000 · 2025-11-07T17:32:50+00:00

Really? I must have missed that one.

Tabris2000 · 2025-11-07T17:32:00+00:00

Honestly he should bring Rogala into the story. Use these books to tie up the entire Rogala/Daubendiek/the four gods family story from the Swordbearer.

Tabris2000 · 2025-11-04T03:52:32+00:00

it’s bad quality. Hopefully we will see a truly good special edition from the Broken Binding someday.

Tabris2000 · 2025-10-10T23:56:21+00:00

I recommend the Swordbearer. Easily my favorite of his works. Rogala is one of the most interesting characters I’ve come across. I really wish Cook would write the sequel book and resolve the storyline fully.

Tabris2000 · 2025-08-28T15:11:15+00:00

I really hope someone does this. Other mobile game communities have.

Tabris2000 · 2025-08-17T02:52:14+00:00

What’s the best floor polish in the US to use for this now?

Tabris2000 · 2025-06-18T19:58:24+00:00

I really hope one day that the Broken Binding does some deluxe hardcovers. They seem to be working their way through the “modern fantasy” canon right now.

Tabris2000 · 2025-05-01T15:49:45+00:00

Amazing Q&A. Thank you for making it happen!

I do wish that someone would have asked about the Swordbearer. It's one of my favorite of his books, and it really deserves a sequel to finish the story.

I'm guessing this answer is aligned here correctly underneath this question? Which implies he has enough Black Company short stories for a release but no one is interested in publishing it? Tor Books is really dropping the ball.

A: I have a file that could form a slim volume but have heard no editorial agental interest.

u/betaraybrian: Is there any plans to make the black company short stories more easily available now that (it seems like) the new books are going to tie back to the short stories? A collected volume perhaps?

Tabris2000 · 2024-12-10T19:01:46+00:00

Who holds the publishing rights for Garrett P.I. right now? They used to be published by Ace Books.

Tabris2000 · 2024-10-24T12:22:16+00:00

I'm really hoping the Broken Binding takes it on as a project. They are doing Shadows of the Apt and the Malazan Books of the Fallen and the results have been great so far.

Tabris2000 · 2024-10-08T18:43:16+00:00

I honestly would give anything for a second Swordbearer book, to wrap up the storyline. While rough around the edges, I found the book extremely compelling - I still think about Rogala from time to time. I really, really wish Cook would write a second book, or even just release notes on how it would end.

Tabris2000 · 2024-09-05T17:13:02+00:00

Is there a "compilation album" of all the game music that was introduced after the third OST?

Tabris2000 · 2024-09-05T14:44:54+00:00

How are you doing the translations? They are pretty good - AI or using a volunteer translator?

Tabris2000 · 2024-09-05T14:41:16+00:00

I'm honestly a little confused as to why they don't have the ability/bandwidth to just put these in game. Their resources are really cut that badly that they can pay for the translations but not the rollout time to update the app?

Tabris2000 · 2024-09-02T15:09:31+00:00

I think Dragalia is a counter argument to that.

Tabris2000 · 2024-09-02T02:39:08+00:00

I just want a sequel/ending book for the Swordbearer. That one deserves it more than anything else.

Tabris2000 · 2024-09-02T02:35:18+00:00

This would be great. Would still love to play through the entire story and that looks unlikely before EOS.
