The Life of Hugh Cook

(Written 14th of September 6180 SC / 2017 CE)

Hugh Walter Gilbert Cook was a science fiction author, the writer behind the 10
volume ‘Chronicles of an Age of Darkness’. He was born in 1956 in Essex in
England. Childhood experiences of castles in England and later on experiences from his time
in Kiribati, an island on the equator, were things which influenced his writing. Book covers of the Chronicles of an Age of Darkness belie this fact.
He later moved to New Zeland were his first novel was published in 1980, titled
‘Plague Summer. The
Chronicles of an Age of Darkness was conceived of as ultimately encompassing 60
volumes, and while only 10 were ever published, there are details on Hugh’s website of plot notions for some of the other planned works. He moved to Japan
in 1997 were he
taught English. He underwent treament for cancer in 2005, non-Hodgins Lymphoma, and wrote a medical memoir about his experiences on this. He passed away on the 8th of November 2008 following a relapse, in a hospice in Auckland,
New Zealand. The 10
volumes of the Chronicles of an Age of Darkness are:

The Wizards and the Warriors

The Wordsmiths and the Warguild

The Women and the Warlords

The Walrus and the Warwolf

The Wicked and the Witless

The Wishstone and the Wonderworkers

The Wazir and the Witch

The Werewolf and the Wormlord

The Worshippers and the Way

The Witchlord and the Weaponmaster



My own Fanfiction work ‘The Wyvvern and the Warlock’ is tentatively Volume 11 in the saga, featuring characters from The Wordsmiths and the Warguild. In recent times I started a facebook group for Hugh Cook’s writings, a fanclub, which has shown a
little bit of interest from the public. There is also my Hugh Cook Noahide Fanfiction website where you can find the Wyvvern and the Warlock: http://hughcooknoahidefanfiction.angelfire.com/
