The Many Deaths of the Black Company - (Chronicles of the Black Company) by Glen Cook (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

From Glen Cook, the godfather of Grimdark, comes The Many Deaths of The Black Company, an omnibus comprising of Water Sleeps and Soldiers Live--the fourth omnibus volume of the bestselling fantasy epic Chronicles of the Black Company, with millions of copies in print.

In Water Sleeps, the surviving members of the Company regroup in Taglios, determined to free their fellow warriors held in stasis beneath the glittering plain. Journeying there under terrible conditions, they arrive just in time for a magical conflagration in which the bones of the world will be revealed, the history of the Company unveiled, and new worlds gained and lost...all at a terrible price.

And in Soldiers Live: No Black Company member has died in battle for four years. Croaker figures it can't last. Then a report arrives warning of an old enemy newly active. The enemy 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.

"With the Black Company series Glen Cook single-handedly changed the face of fantasy."--New York Times bestselling author Steven Erikson
