I can't wait for this book to come back into print. Living in the States, it was difficult (as in, nearly impossible) to get Cook's stuff when it went through its first print run. His first novel was split into two smaller books for the American market, and I don't even remember if The Walrus & the Warwolf made it to the bookstores over here. I got my copy during a trip to England.

I should have picked up the rest of the bloody series when I was there.

My copy of The Walrus & the Warwolf made a journey to China in the backpack of a friend. He spent 6 months there, and he said he read it over and over. We would quote passages back and forth to each other in college.

Courage, said Drake to Drake.

Hooray! Another Hugh Cook fan!

The first third of The Walrus and the Warwolf was published by Roc in 1991, but subsequent volumes never appeared.

I too managed to buy the book on a trip to the UK, but I managed to fill in the whole set over subsequent trips taken by myself and friends.

I am really hoping people dig this book. Those who love it tend to LOVE it.

I managed to buy all of them (many at second hank book shops) except for The Wishstone and The Wonderworkers, which I have never seen for sale. Fortunately, my local library used to have it, so I have read it a few times.

I've not read any of Hugh Cook's stuff, but I have read about it (the series this is from sounds incredible). The fact you have China Mieville doing the introduction is simply awesome. I love his stuff. I'm really excited for this one.

Im a Hugh COOK freak and fellow NZer and have had a bit of a correspondence with him over the years.
I converted Walrus and Warwolf to D and D as as epic adventure.
With the stats of all the main characters-
Ish ulpin, Drake , the Walrus and of course Andranavory and Whale Mike.
I could convert that adventure to Pathfinder and send it out to persons if people were interested .
Ive read all the books several times and am thinking of converting all of them into some sort of epic adventure path...
If only I could figure out how to work the magic system...
your thoughts...
