ppint. 10th Aug 2018		chronicles of an age of darkness series #1: the books are not necessarily - indeed, not mostly - sequential, and people and events seen from one point of view in one book may be seen as very different indeed in both significance and character, when viewed from another protagonist's point of view in another book. aka "wizard war" series (first three only, split into four volumes, usa 1987-1989, and first third of the fourth, usa 1991) #1: "the wizards and the warriors" (1986) (this novel) aka "wizard war" (usa 1987), q.v. #2: "the wordsmiths and the warguild" (1987), q.v.; split into two mmpbs, the halves accounted "wizard war chronicles" II & III, and retitled: "the questing hero" (usa 1988), q.v.

ppint. 8th Dec 2017		this sold incredibly well for ages - the promise of a twenty book-long fantasy epic had enormous appeal that lasted quite a few years, though the popularity of the series later volumes - say, by numbers six or eight - seems to've waned.° ° - i'm not sure any followers still remembered it was initially promoted by transworld publishers ltd. as a series a full score of books long when the words and wolumes finally stopped with the wombats and the whirligigs°° °° - and i'm not sure colin - the h/cvr publisher - ever promoted it as the start of a twenty-strong series - though hugh cook certainly spoke/wrote of it so, and conceived of this as the first of three twenty book-long series...



nanocyar 7th Dec 2017		I've got a Corgi 1986 edition of this. It appears to be exactly the same, even ISBN-10 and Barcode are the same.
