Some feel the Lady, newly risen from centuries in thrall, stands between humankind and evil. Some feel she is evil itself. The hardbitten men of the Black Company take their pay and do what they must, burying their doubts with their dead - until the prophesy: The White Rose has been reborn, somewhere, to embody good once more.
There must be a way for the Black Company to find her....

Would you listen to The Black Company again? Why?
Yes I will. This Book Started slow, and I asked my self why did I buy it. As soon as Raven got involved, I started getting involved, and then Soul Catcher made me get more interested. As soon as a fantasizing Croaker met The Lady, I became hooked. Before I knew it, I have listened to all 10 books in about 2 weeks. I like the way Glen Cook builds up a character, make you love them for who they are, and then kill them. I fell in love, felt like crying, felt disappointed, and then felt how life does not give you what you always wanted. Great Author, and Books; I will ready more of your work as I have done R.A Salvatore, and Terry Brooks.What about Marc Vietor’s performance did you like?
Yes it was greatIf you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The first book opens pretty slowly. I was bored for the first two chapters, and didn't really get invested until I got into the characters more. Again, it's strange. I can't say that the plot was excellent, nor can I say the character arcs were excellent either. They're both solid (especially if you take a liking to the characters), but really it's the gritty, down to earth perspective that makes the story pop. You are in the head of a lowly soldier. You see what he sees. He doesn't know who will win battles, or how all these wizards do wizardry, or what politicians and generals are conniving. He's doing a job the best he can. Definitely had me gripped by the end, though, and the next two books are significantly better, in my opinion. In all honesty, this one I'd give 3.5 stars if I could.

Imagine the narrator, a grizzled mercenary field doctor and company historian, is reading back diary entries. However, the diary isn't just his own, its the written history of the Black Company as he experiences it. The Black Company is an elite mercenary group caught up in world events and embroiled in wars and machinations outside of their control.
