Timuras
Timuras — (1997-1999) When the Gods Slept was also published as Wizard of the Winds. From author’s website: King of Kings, lord over men and demons alike. Only one ruler had ever held that title, and now Iraj Protarus, an orphaned prince exiled to a small village high in the Valley of the Clouds, dreamed of being the next great conqueror. The key to his destiny would be Safar Timura, a youth with an awesome gift for sorcery whose visions foretold Iraj’s rise to power.



When the Gods Slept by Allan Cole
When the Gods Slept is the first book in Allan Cole's Timuras trilogy and I am debating whether I should read the other two books or not. Generally, I don’t like writing a review until I have read all the books in a trilogy, but I also have a strict rule against paying for additional books when the initial story is pedestrian at best. If I could develop a rating system it would not be based on stars or numbers or thumbs, but on cost. For example, if an author and his/her work is outstanding I would give it a “BUY THE HARD COVER VERSION AT FULL PRICE.” If the book is good I would give it a “BUY THE PAPERBACK VERSION.” And if the book is mediocre, like this one, I would give it the ‘ole “GET ON YOUR BIKE AND GO TO THE LIBRARY FOR A COPY.”
