Especially towards the end. I think that he realized that he was bought, and fulfilled his commission to the very end. This is what I think that all of the Black Company books have in common. People placed in circumstances simply trying to make the most of it. - ----Original Message Follows---- From: Robert Tygers Reply-To: glencook-fans@lists.xmission.com To: glencook-fans-digest@lists.xmission.com Subject: Re: (glencook-fans) Swordbearers in the Tower of Fear Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 16:38:07 -0700 (PDT) Igor Filippov remarked: > What really > attracted me to Mr. Cook other work was the > pro-active position that his > protagonists tend to take - made even more > interesting by the non-trivial > nature of the said position - neither what could be > called "good" nor > altogether "evil".

I just finished rereading the Garrett series and I had a thought. Faded Steel Heat is the second to last book in the series and the bad guy is a woman. As is usual with Garrett, it was one of the last people he suspected. But in every single one of the books, the bad guy ends up being one of the females. Excepting Sweet Silver Blues, in which a very spoiled self centered female causes problems anyway, even if she is not the main threat. So, is Garrett ever going to put the woman on the top of the suspect list, or does he keep getting duped? This may be superfluos anyway, since only one more book is coming out. And I bet anything Belonda is going to be a major evil in it.
