Who This Author Is

Allan Cole ; Chris Bunch has enough depth here to be more than a raw catalog rollup. This page pulls together 3 catalog-linked books across 1990 to 1995, which makes it easier to separate the strongest starting points from the noisier editions. The clearest lane here leans toward Fantasy & Sci-Fi.

Best for readers who want imaginative settings, series momentum, and clearer jumping-in spots. If you want the easiest first click, start with The Warrior's Tale (The Wizards of Fantasy Promotion Ser.) and branch outward from there. UPB note: the strongest documented run here lands between 1990 to 1995; the most common copies on this page tend to come from Ballantine Books.
