9 books
The Wizard of 4th Street
by Simon Hawke
1987
In a future where Merlin brought magic back to replace exhausted technology, a young wizard named Wyrdrune gets pulled into a fight against dark sorcery. It is brisk, funny, and full of big paperback energy.
The Wizard of Whitechapel
by Simon Hawke
1988
Hawke takes the series to London and gives it a foggier, darker edge. The mix of street magic, old evil, and Whitechapel atmosphere makes this one feel especially close to horror.
The Wizard of Sunset Strip
by Simon Hawke
1989
Los Angeles glamour does not make the magical threats any gentler. Hawke uses the Strip's glossy surface as a lively backdrop for another fast supernatural showdown.
The Wizard of Rue Morgue
by Simon Hawke
1990
Paris gives Hawke a chance to mix urban fantasy with gothic mystery, and the title tells you exactly what mood he wants. The result is a quick supernatural adventure with literary echoes and real stakes.
The Samurai Wizard
by Simon Hawke
1991
The magic-changed future reaches Japan in a book that blends urban fantasy with samurai imagery and cross-cultural myth. Hawke keeps the pace up while expanding the reach of Merlin's world.
The Wizard of Santa Fe
by Simon Hawke
1991
Magic-era New Mexico gives the series a fresh landscape, but the mix of sorcery, danger, and quick banter stays familiar. Hawke uses the regional setting well and keeps the threat close to home.
The Wizard of Camelot
by Simon Hawke
1993
Merlin's return changed the world, but old legends still carry real power. This installment sends Hawke's urban-fantasy heroes into an Arthurian-flavored conflict where myth and modern life collide again.
The Wizard of Lovecraft's Cafe
by Simon Hawke
1993
A strange cafe becomes the center of a new magical threat, and Hawke leans into the series' weirder side. It is urban fantasy with eldritch overtones, odd humor, and danger hiding behind everyday city life.
The Last Wizard
by Simon Hawke
1997
The Runestones' Avatars finally have real military backing, but the war against the Dark Ones is already slipping toward catastrophe. It is the big endgame book, with dragons, necromancy, and the fate of Hawke's magic-changed world on the line.
