    The recent _Lies Weeping_ title reminded me that I had an unread Black   
   Company series book in my unread stack. This book has two threads, one   
   has the Black Company doing what amounts to counter-insurgency work (not   
   that it is call that) in the Lady's empire sometime between the events   
   of _The Black Company_ and _Shadows Linger_ (BTW, somebody did a lot of   
   memory erasing at the end to the story which is why none of this is   
   mentioned in the later books). The second thread starts centuries   
   earlier at the time of Domination.   
      
   The problem is that the events in both threads appear to contradict   
   events of the original trilogy (especially _The White Rose_). I will   
   admit that the right type of sorcery could explain everything. The title   
   refers to a possible way for the Dominator to return, though the details   
   that the Lady provided are inconsistent with the second thread (she, of   
   course, could had been lying).
