The best short fiction of legendary author Glen Cook (The Black Company, the Dread Empire series), now in audio.

For over 40 years, Glen Cook has been among the most well-known, influential, and widely respected authors in science fiction and fantasy. Through classic series such as The Black Company, Garrett P.I., the Dread Empire, Starfishers, Darkwar, and more, his gritty, down-to-earth style left an indelible impression on his listeners around the world, forever shifting the genre landscape and carving out his place as a pioneering icon.

The Best of Glen Cook collects 18 of his greatest stories - as chosen and introduced by the author himself - including a new Black Company novelette. With works set in all of his most famous series, these tales of science fiction and fantasy offer both the perfect way for longtime fans to trace Cook's history and for newcomers to become familiar with one of the finest genre authors of the 20th century.

This is an excellent collection of short works by Glen Cook. Several of them were from his science fiction universe—one I have very little familiarity with. But they were all fun stories which I enjoyed reading. The best were from his fantasy worlds, showing off Cook’s famous, slightly dark, world view. There are pieces from the Dread Empire, the Black Company, and The Garrett Files, which make the book worth reading all on their own. But there are also a lot of tales that don’t fit into the big series but were great all the same.

One of the best things about a collection like this are the short author notes at the beginning of each story. It’s always nice to get a glimpse into the author’s thinking.

I will definitely read this collection again someday.

I am a big fan of Glen Cook stories and this collection did not disappoint. The narrator brought the stories to life and I was particularly taken with the first and only Garrett files story I have heard in audio format. Please bring them all to audiobook, they would be even more amazing with a narrator like this one!

superb collection of stories
