He is one of the first if not first one to write dark fantasy and bring it on a personal level that is now all the rage like the works of the George R.R. Martin, Joe Abercrombie and Steven Erikson, where fantasy during his time were still Tolkien copycats with a band of heroes going on a quest.
Basically he wanted to write fantasy based on his experience during the Vietnam War.

I've had the first book on my TBR shelf forever. Literally. Like ten years. I really need to give it a try.
Did you guys find all the black company books on kindle?.
Not true at all. *The Broken Sword* by Poul Anderson was published the same year as *The Lord of the Rings*, is considered one of the foundational works of modern Fantasy, and is as dark as anything written now.
Not late in the business of dark fantasy but certainly not the first. KE Wagner with his Kane was earlier. But that’s no race, and the Black Company is great stuff.
