Reddit reviews Chronicles of the Black Company (Chronicles of the Black Company Series Book 1)

> I am looking for series that can be bought in one big omnibus or one-volume set. I prefer this format because it's usually cheaper, and easier than purchasing 3 or more individual books. Any suggestions?

Here's a shopping list for you. All links go to the Amazon's US site.

• Roger Zelazny: The Great Book of Amber
  
• Glen Cook: Chronicles of the Black Company (contains The Black Company, Shadows Linger, and The White Rose)
  
• Glen Cook: The Books of the South (contains Shadow Games, Dreams of Steel, and The Silver Spike (gaiden))
  
• Glen Cook: The Return of the Black Company (contains the first two Glittering Stone novels: Bleak Seasons and She is the Darkness)
  
• Glen Cook: The Many Deaths of the Black Company (contains the last two Glittering Stone novels: Water Sleeps and Soldiers Live)
  
• Glen Cook: A Cruel Wind (contains the first three Dread Empire novels: A Shadow of All Night Falling, October's Baby, and All Darkness Met)
  
• Glen Cook: A Fortress in Shadow (contains two Dread Empire prequels: Fire in His Hands and With Mercy Toward None)
  
• M. John Harrison: Viriconium (with an introduction by Neil Gaiman)
  
• C. J. Cherryh: The Complete Morgaine Cycle (contains Gate of Ivrel, Well of Shiuan, Fires of Azeroth, and Exile's Gate)

Not only still in print but as of 2007 (I think?) they started being released in omnibus editions that collect two or three books at a time. There's 9 total if I remember right. Of the individual books, that is. Not the omnibus volumes.

Here's Amazon's link to the first omnibus: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009WUG56M/ref=series_rw_dp_sw

When I hear Glen Cook all I think about is The Black Company. If you have not read it, stop playing and get on it now. Here I'll get you started

Gardens of the Moon is pretty great. If you find the Malazan stuff to be a bit too heavy for you right now, check out the first collection of books from The Black Company.

Red Mars is pretty good, but Green and Blue Mars get progressively more dense. I always enjoyed the descriptions of how they were terraforming mars, but by the end of the second book I was pretty tired of most of the cast.
