Product Description

TERRY BROOKS

THE HERITAGE OF SHANNARA
The Complete Series


After New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks completed The Sword of Shannara trilogy, millions of fans around the world clamored to immerse themselves again in his dazzling world. Brooks answered with a quartet of beloved novels—The Heritage of Shannara. Now, for the first time in one handsome collector’s edition hardcover, here are: The Scions of Shannara, The Druid of Shannara, The Elf Queen of Shannara, and The Talismans of Shannara—the thrilling continuation of the saga
that has become one of the most enduring fantasy epics of all time.

The Scions of Shannara
Since the death of the Druid Allanon, magic has been strictly forbidden in the Four Lands. Yet Par still has limited use of the Wishsong. Then a dire message from Allanon sends Par and his brother Coll on an impossible task: to recover the long-lost Sword of Shannara—or all life in the Four Lands will be destroyed.


The Druid of Shannara
Evil forces remain in control of the Four Lands. To restore the Keep of the Druid Allanon, Walker Boh sets out on a journey to find the black Elfstone. He must venture into perilous, unknown lands with a strange band of fellow travelers—one of whom is hatching his own sinister plot.

The Elf Queen of Shannara
Ordered by the Druid Allanon to find the Elves and return them to the world of Men, Wren is carried away to an island where Elves might still exist. Even if by some miracle she locates the Elves, can she convince them to follow her back through a demon-haunted jungle to the safety of the shore?


The Talismans of Shannara
The Shadowen still swarm over the Four Lands, poisoning everything with their dark magic. Their leader is determined to destroy all the Scions of Shannara. With traps cleverly laid, the charges are doomed to failure—unless Par can discover a way to harness the power of the Sword of Shannara.

So continues Terry Brooks’s enthralling Heritage of Shannara epic, a spellbinding saga that chronicles the ultimate battle of good vs. evil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite Books of All Time, Jun 14 2004
By A Customer
This set of books is by far the best that Terry Brooks has written. His poetic writing style, exciting plot, and deeply developed characters amaze me every time I read these books. Although I praise The Heritage of Shannara highly, it isn't perfect. It may take a while to get into the book, but I promise after the first few chapters, you're hooked! Also, occasionally he reuses events and tactics from the Shannara Trilogy. But other than that, these books are absolutely wonderful!! Hope you enjoy them as much as I have!

5.0 out of 5 stars yes., May 27 2004
By Andrew Vogel "vogelz" (brookhaven, pa United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While most of Brooks novels up to this point have been self-stories such as the First King of Shannara, The Sword of Shannara, The Elfstones of Shannara, and The Wishsong of Shannara, this one is a 4 book long story. For the reader out there who loves a book that you can sink into and just relax and love the world -- this is it. High quality writing through the entire story, with great plot twists and a healthy atmosphere. You barely have time to dream about one plot line when you are met with another, and as the boy in everyone used to read books without being to put them down, this happens here as well.

A+++ without hesitation. My personal favorite is the wonderful detail of the city life that Terry Brooks brings to bear in Callahorn. Also the four horsemen battling with our one armed druid is awesome.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top-notch fantasy, packaged well for the collector, May 26 2004
The Heritage of Shannara series is really one long story divided into four books. This re-packaging only adds convenience, but is still well-done. I purchased this for my nephew, though I have all the volumes in HB, so there was no need for myself.

What you will find is standard Terry Brooks fare, solid fantasy. His writing is always excellent and his attention to detail is nearly perfect. He is the best modern writer for psychological desription. He lets you into the heads of the important characters and you understand what makes them tick. Thus, you truly understand their personal battles, conflicts, and decisions. Tolkien does a better job (I think) but Brooks comes a solid second.

Brooks message is always hopeful. It is something like, 'even in the darkest day, on the most difficult trail, if you find courage and determination, you may yet survive or even succeed'. This is not novel in this genre, but he does it best.

Oh. I've read the gripe about density, length, and sloggishness. But I don't think they get it. Brooks is intellectual and cares about detail. If you don't, go elsewhere because you may be bored. If you like to roll around in the detail and soak in the world of the story, you are home.

This is not his best story but still wonderful. I was going to give this book four stars because it is not HIS best. But his second best is still much above par (in my humble opinion).
