'TERRY'S PLACE IS AT THE HEAD OF THE FANTASY WORLD' Philip PullmanFollowing The Black Elfstone
comes the second book in The Fall of Shannara - the epic four-part conclusion to the Shannara
series from one of the all-time masters of the fantasy genre.Tensions in the Four Lands are
high. The mysterious force that laid waste to Paranor has revealed a more human face. While
some gain a new understanding of the invaders and what they are after others continue their
existing quests even as the peril rises. For what looked to be a formidable invading force
proves only the forerunner of a much vaster army - one that is now marching against the Four
Lands in all its fury.'I can't even begin to count how many of Terry Brooks's books I've read
(and re-read) over the years' Patrick Rothfuss'I would not be writing epic fantasy today if not
for Shannara' Peter V. Brett'A master of the craft . . . required reading' Brent Weeks
