Guess what I found while innocently strolling about Borders?

A new Glen Cook novel!

It's called The Tyranny of the Night and begins a series called The Instrumentalities of the Night.

Judging strictly by its cover, it should be a great book!

Who?
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Alaan and I try to mention the Black Company books every time there's a book thread..

Cook's also written some other fantasy; a few stand alone books, and the Detective Garrett series (a private investigator in a somewhat more typical fantasy setting) which I'm working through now.

Generally they're a little lighter than the Black Company. "Old Tin Sorrows" was an very depressing exception, though.

Edit: And Tonk is a card game played by the characters in the Black Company books. The Waiszlings found rules online and tried it once.. it's fairly fun.

Tonk's a card game of sorts, I think.

The tonk I'm thinking of is very similar to rummy.

It is pretty good. FInished it up earlier this week. Manages to tie up most of the books plot points but still set up for the next book at the end. And my sig is from there.

Edit: And we need more voting options.

Edit 2: All you god damn heathens need to read Black Company And Tonk is like rummy.
