5.0 out of 5 stars
Good, light-hearted swords-and-sorcery fantasy,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: WIZARD'S BANE (Paperback)
When William Irving "Wiz" Zumwalt, computer programmer extraordinaire, steps out his front door, and into an entirely different world, he realizes he's in trouble. In this other world, magic exists but computers don't. He feels useless here, but the great wizard who summoned him must have had a purpose for him, and, as he is an unknown factor, the evil Dark League are determined to capture him. It's a dangerous world for Wiz...But, when he discovers that working magic *can* be handled like writing a program, it becomes a dangerous world for the bad guys!This is quite an exciting book. I must admit that when I first saw the book, I did not take it seriously. But, once I began reading, I was hooked. The author spins a fascinating story, people by interesting characters. Plus, I must admit that the author's unique take on magic was quite refreshing. If you like good, light-hearted swords-and-sorcery fantasy, then you will love this book!

Wizard's Bane is Wiz Biz,
By
This review is from: WIZARD'S BANE (Paperback)
I read this book under the title "Wiz Biz" and enjoyed it thoroughly. Treating magic as a science is not a new idea, but treating magic spells as if they were computer programs is a new twist to the idea. This book will appeal to the large number of computer geeks out there who also love fantasy roleplaying. I can't wait to read the other books in the series!

Good mix of fantasy and computers,
By A Customer
This review is from: WIZARD'S BANE (Paperback)
In the Wizard's Bane, the first of his currently 5 book series, Rick Cook starts an amazing and interesting fantasy story with a mix of computers. With a good fantasy and adventure story line he throughs in a computer programmer. This is a mix that should have been done a long time ago. Although the computer programs don't come into play much in this first novel as they do in the other it is a great building block for an excellant all around series
