About the Series

The Black Company series of novels and short stories by Glen Cook charts the exploits of a mercenary band fighting in bloody wars and dangerous odysseys. Its claim to fame is the voice in which it is told – real soldiers talking like real soldiers. First appearing in 1982 with the publication of the novelette called "Raker", the series was a forerunner in dark fantasy / grimdark fiction, which includes George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, Steven Erikson's Malazan novels, and Kentarou Miura's Berserk.
