Cook is a terrific writer. I was pulled in by the plot, whichfeatures a powerful cast of extraordinary characters. The characters are not only endowed with extraordinary abilities, they are thrust into awar against a powerful lord of the darkness, the kind that gives meaning to their existence and shapes a civilization. The story is bothcharacter and conflict-driven and there is no moment when the readerdoesn&apos;t feel compelled to read on. The Scholar, the Sphinx and theThreads of Fate is a spellbinding fantasy that will entertain readersand leave them wanting more.&quot; - <i>Romuald Dzemo of Readers&apos; Favorite</i>, <b><i>5-Star Review</i></b>
