Hugh Walter Gilbert Cook (9 August 1956–8 November 2008) was a cult author, whose works blend fantasy and science fiction.
[2] That comic science fiction novel involved an alien invasion and a machine that altered human history.
Disappointing sales prevented the publication of further volumes (up to 60 were planned)[2] and Cook stopped publishing for some time.
His online works encompassed poetry, short stories, flash fiction, and several novels, including To Find and Wake the Dreamer and Oceans of Light, a trilogy.
The series broadly tells the story of the events leading to the end of a dark age in a fantasy world.
