I felt like Black Company was just unfinished. Not unpolished, I just felt like the story didn't have a conclusion and a whole lot more needed to be told.

Doris Egan's Ivory series had the same feel. I keep hoping for the sequel that will never come.
You can always get what you want if you never count the cost.

That's because the Black Company series isn't finished.  Cook has stated that he has at least 2 more novels to write in the series to finish it off.  He doesn't know when that will happen, but someday.

I'm going to put forth Scott Lynch as someone that's definitely worth reading. If you like caper novels at all, he's the way to go.

I can already hear the complaints about how the series isn't done, he's taking forever, etc. etc. I'm just saying that the two books that are out are good.
I like basketball, hanging out with my friends, reading, slamming a garbage can into a pimp or two with magical heavenly powers. You know, teenager stuff.

The Many Deaths of the Black Company is available now for pre-order from amazon, it has a cool cover too.
