Wait a minute! Just returned from the bookstore--they've republished Glen Cook's series, The Black Company, in omnibus editions. It's about a band of mercenaries who have no choice but to fight on the side of evil, 'cause that's all there is, and hopefully survive to spend their pay. As one of the cut-lines put it: "it's like reading a Vietnam War story on peyote." No idea if that appeals, but if so, at least the books are easier to find.
