#123: Barbarians vs Pacifists in The City of Magicians Fantasy Series with Author; Peter Gribble

Peter Gribble is a writer and a lifelong student of history whose work explores the intersections of knowledge, power, and the human condition. His fantasy series, "The City of Magicians," is set in a civilization that rejects traditional warfare. The series examines how intellect, psychological strategy, and telepathic abilities can be both a society's greatest strength and its most dangerous vulnerability. Influenced by his childhood in postwar France- where silence about the war was as pervasive as its lingering shadows-Gribble crafts stories that explore the dangers of complacency and the consequences of pacifism and brutality colliding.
