If you haven't yet, check out his Hawk & Fisher books - a little more on the Deathstalker side of things in terms of flavor, they're basically fantasy mysteries. They were collected in Guards of Haven and Swords of Haven, and there are some associated books in the same world, some with the same characters (like Down Among the Dead Men, Blue Moon Rising, and something else, also about a blue moon.)
Yeah, I went through those too in the last week or so. I think I read all of Green's published works this month. I'm missing a few that are out of print in the US, though.

Is this the next of the Company books? I'll have to start bugging my library.
Actually, Baker wrote a standalone fantasy here. It's almost a collection of short stories or novellas with a central theme. Quite good. I did read that she's contracted for a new Company book, but I don't remember the title offhand.
To wrap up August, I read
The Da Vinci Code and
Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. Both are puzzle-based thrillers with strong symbological roots. Very interesting.
I also picked up
The Fifth Ring because I met the author, Mitchell Graham, at DragonCon. It's a standard fantasy on the surface, but has some intriguing depths. It'll be interesting to see where he goes with the rest of the series, with
The Emerald Cave coming out in January, I think.

The four Jim Butcher Harry Dresden books -- I just found the fifth, but haven't started it yet.
I also got a chance to meet Jim Butcher at DragonCon. He's a great guy, interesting to talk to, and a gamer at that. He even used some analogies from being a DM when he was on a panel! Support gamers - check out
Storm Front (the first one) - it's a great book.
