About this audiobook
Allan Cole
Allan Cole is a best-selling author, screenwriter and former prize-winning newsman who brings a rich background in travel and personal experience to his imaginative work. Son of a CIA operative, Cole was raised in the Middle East, Europe, and the Far East. He attended thirty-two schools and visited or lived in as many countries. He recalls hearing Othello for the first time as a child sitting on an ancient fortress wall in Cyprus - the island Shakespeare had in mind when he wrote the play. Rejecting invitations to join the CIA, Cole became an award-winning investigative reporter and editor who dealt with everything from landmark murder cases to thieving government officials. Since that time he’s concentrated on books and film. His novels include the landmark science fiction series, “Sten,” the highly-praised fantasy trilogy, “Tales Of The Timuras,” “The Far Kingdoms” series, a World Fantasy Award Finalist, and the Vietnam war classic, “A Reckoning For Kings.” The “Sten” novels, which he coauthored with the late Chris Bunch, have sold upwards of 25 million books worldwide and have been published in 13 languages. His latest novels include “The Lords Of Terror,” which he wrote with Russian fantasy master, Nick Perumov, as well as “MacGregor,” and “Drowned Hopes,” thrillers set in Boca Raton, Florida. “Lords” is the first and only novel written by American and Russian collaborators. Allan has sold more than a hundred and fifty television dramas, ranging from “Quincy” and “The Rockford Files” to and “Walker, Texas Ranger.” He lives in Boca Raton, Florida, with his wife, Kathryn.

Reviews for When The Gods Slept
40 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Too much long winded talking.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Poor quality audio , as if it’s a pirated copy
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really thought this was excellent. The book starts by laying the background of a peaceful people, high in the mountains, while in nearby kingdoms a massive war had recently raged. Out of this comes a wizard who must stave off or win the next war against a very evil opponent. The writing is good, the plot is good, and I thought there were some very unique components to this book, not your typical fantasy.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I got my copy of this book out of a discount bin for $2.99. I actually really enjoyed it. It has some interesting characters and it isn't your typical quest-for-the-magical-whatsis type of fantasy.
