Review:

Praise for Glen Cook and the Instrumentalities of the Night:
"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
""Cook follows up on his lauded Black Company military fantasy with another powerful series, combining a fast-moving plot with a harsh, credible world of religious conflicts, ravenous aristocrats, and refugees struggling to survive."
--"VOYA "on "Lord of the Silent Kingdom
""With The Black Company""series, Glen Cook single-handedly 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 is like reading Vietnam War fiction on peyote."
--Steven Erikson, author of "Gardens of the Moon"
