As we almost make it to 1/4 of the way through 100 authors, it seems like I started doing this a long time ago. But I'm enjoying learning about authors I don't know much about and hearing opinions.
Number 24 is Glen Cook, someone I've read a little of, but I'd probably should be reading a lot more. Cook is probably most famous for his Black Company series which deals with a group of mercenaries and their adventures. Cook is often pointed to as one of the authors that really did "gritty fantasy" first, being that he dealt with soldiers who spoke like soldiers and not kings, queens, and high adventure. He's also written film-noir style fantasy(which makes sense if you've read the Black Company) in the Garrett P.I. series.
Anyone have thoughts on Glen Cook?
