50 million Terry Brooks copies sold around the world
The Shannara Chronicles is now a major TV series
Volume one in the classic best-selling series from one of the all-time masters of fantasy.
Long ago, the world of the Four Lands was torn apart by the wars of ancient Evil. But in the Vale, the half-human, half-elfin Shea Ohmsford now lives in peace - until the mysterious, forbidding figure of the druid Allanon appears, to reveal that the supposedly long-dead Warlock Lord lives again.
Shea must embark upon the elemental quest to find the only weapon powerful enough to keep the creatures of darkness at bay: the fabled Sword of Shannara.

"If Harry Potter has given you a thirst for fantasy and you have not discovered the magic of Terry Brooks, you are in for a treat." (Rocky Mountain News)

ok story, appalling reading.
Slightly formulaic story nearly ruined by dreadful, nasal, melodramatic reader, with inexplicable speech cadences.

It’s not bad
It’s lord of the rings. But less women. I think they only mention 1 woman the entire book. It’s all just men being manly. And they follow the plot of LOTR nearly exactly. And also the boss bad apparently just needs therapy

Classic
Classic novel. Scott Brick, however, is so monotonous that he very nearly never he put me sleep a few time.

It's a fantastic series, but....
I love the series, its fantastic and don't mind the people fussing over "tolkien knock off", almost all fantasy, including game genres all sound and smell like Tolkien, its almost impossible not to. The main gripe here is this is the only audio version, and it's not great, but it was bearable.

Thoroughly enjoyed good solid fantasy
Really enjoyed this self-contained story, from slow humble beginnings to full blown fantasy adventure - loved it!

Even better twenty years on.
I loved this book when I was a child and enjoyed revisiting it even more as an adult.
