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:
