Hugh Cook, author of the ten volume fantasy series CHRONICLES OF AN AGE OF DARKNESS, has posted the full text of three of these books online. Each of these original realistic SF-fantasy books is a complete novel in its own right, complete with a beginning, a middle and an end. Each book in the series can be read independently of any other book in the series. The three CHRONICLES novels available to read for free online are the questing hero novel THE WORDSMITHS AND THE WARGUILD (published in the USA as two volumes, THE QUESTING HERO and THE HERO'S RETURN); the military SF novel THE WORSHIPPERS AND THE WAY; and the epic sword and sorcery novel THE WITCHLORD AND THE WEAPONMASTER, which weighs in at about 250,000 words. Also the first 30 chapters of the alternative reality suicide bomber novel TO FIND AND WAKE THE DREAMER; the first 30 chapters of a murder mystery novel (an alternative reality novel with some murder mystery elements), this being BAMBOO HORSES; the first three chapters for each volume in the OCEANS OF LIGHT trilogy; and, additionally, some sample stories from the collection THE SUCCUBUS AND OTHER STORIES, a collection largely devoted to SF, fantasy and horror. The OCEANS OF LIGHT trilogy can only be bought from the lulu.com/hughcook storefront. However, all the other books by Hugh Cook available to read online can be bought at Amazon.com. Any book by Hugh Cook hosted on this site can be bought from lulu.com/hughcook as a PDF download for US $5. Note that the OCEANS OF LIGHT trilogy consists of the three books WEST OF HEAVEN, EAST OF HELL and NORTH OF PARADISE. It is set in the archipelago of Chalakanesia, which stands athwart the metapsychic faultline, and it features members of the Jubiladilia Family. These folk are not exactly mermaids (they don't have fishy tails) but they can breathe underwater. And, though they are not merfolk, they do owe genes to the Mer. The promise of the OCEANS OF LIGHT trilogy is to deliver something entirely different: not the same old orcs, elves, dwarves, trolls and the rest of it. Of all the books showcased on this site, the one of which the author is the proudest is TO FIND AND WAKE THE DREAMER, a no-holds-barred novel which takes on the age of terror and the war on terror. The author bills this book as the ultimate fantasy novel. Which it is. Click, read, sample and enjoy! |
