Who This Author Is

Allan Cole has enough depth here to be more than a raw catalog rollup. This page pulls together 14 catalog-linked books across 1989 to 2018, 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 Gods Awaken: Book III of TALES OF THE TIMURAS (Cole, Allan. Tales of the Timuras, Bk. 3.) and branch outward from there. UPB note: the strongest documented run here lands between 1989 to 2018; the most common copies on this page tend to come from Ballantine Books and Smashwords.
