The Wizards and the Warriors

Publishers Weekly described the novel positively: "Cook began his fantasy series Chronicles of an Age of Darkness with the witty The Wizards and the Warriors, which viewed magicians as their world's equivalent of none-too-responsible nuclear physicists."^[2]

Stephen Dillon reviewed The Wizards and the Warriors for Adventurer magazine, writing: "This is a story about personalities, not powers, about people more than politics. Wizards are real and so are Warriors; they each have their strengths and weaknesses, their likes and dislikes, ambitions and conflicts."^[1]
