Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on August 09, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Hugh Cook! May your day be filled with more adventures than the Chronicles of an Age of Darkness and brighter moments than the Oceans of Light trilogy. Your imagination has taken us through countless worlds—some dark, some humorous—but always unforgettable.

Here's hoping this year brings you a shift toward even greater success (pun intended!). Keep crafting those incredible stories that make dragons chuckle and spaceships blush. Cheers to another fantastic chapter in your life's epic saga; may it be as timelessly entertaining as every tale you've shared so far!
