Sean Gursky reviewed The Silver Spike by Glen Cook (Chronicles of the Black Company, #3.5)
Review of 'The silver spike' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Using the Goodreads star ratings as accurately as possible because this story was okay. Separating the story from Croaker/team did detract from this tale. The majority of the POV's lacked a strong voice but anything involving Old Man Fish was entertaining and always a bit unpredictable.
Being a ".5" in the story means this could be skipped but learning what happened to the Silver Spike after the events in book #3 is beneficial and would be useful if you want to continue with the Black Company story.
