More specifically, the first book in the series just as the name suggests tells quite a story about the last of the free black company’s of khatovar (it places emphasis on the scrutiny of the last of the twelve true companies).
I can say this with utmost confidence because after having the opportunity to read this series through to its end, I must admit that it has single handedly changed the face of fantasy completely. On a more personal level, I consider the black company series to be the type of novel which has not been touched by any other reviewers yet it should have been. It is equally worth noting that in addition to the above, there is one spin off novel dubbed the sliver spike which is mainly focused on events concerning former members of the company including one of its adversaries. Glittering Stone which unravel Company achievements and victory over its employer’s enemies, and its move towards its destiny. The Books of South follow centered around the Company on its journey back to its roots in KhatovarĬ. The Books of North recount which are focused on the Company’s dealings with the Empire of Ladyī. These can be grouped into three sections:Ī. The series chronology of events spans over nine distinct novels. The author, Cook does a very impressive job in mixing the fantasy alongside military fiction in gritty and down to earth portrayals of the company’s chief personalities including its own struggles. The series follows the operations of an elite mercenary unit which is last of the free companies of Khatovar all through forty years of its estimated four hundred year history. This series is slightly different from those by other authors in the sense that it closely follows an elite mercenary unit dubbed “the black company” through a mere forty years of its approximated four hundred year history.
The Black Company simply refers to a series of black novels by renowned author Glen Cook.
