Reviews

'Brooks has always aimed for a Tolkien level of epic, fantasy swagger in his work and The Elves of Cintra is no exception ... a worthy sequel to Armageddon's Children and a pretty damn intelligent fantasy opus... The Elves of Cintra is metaphorically rich and politically smart.' DEATHRAY 'What a gripper of a story! In the second book of the Genesis of Shannara series, Brooks delivers a tension-fuelled tale mixing Shannara fantasy with the contemporary world of the Knights of the Word' SFX 'A brilliant apocalyptic fantasy novel that will have readers on the edge of their seats from the start.' WATERSTONE'S BOOKS QUARTERLY

In the near future, Earth lies in chaos as armies of monsters prey upon humans barricaded in fortresses and governments cease to exist. A few individuals attempt to fight against overwhelming odds. Logan Tom and Angel Perez, Knights of the Word, lead separate groups of refugees into the relative safety of forest and wilderness, where Angel's group meets the Elves of Cintra. In a separate journey, fugitives Hawk and Tessa encounter the King of the Silver River and the hope of rescue. Brooks's sequel to Armageddon's Children ties the many stories of the Shannara series together with the world of modern Earth, bringing together two popular story cycles in a surprising and ingenious fashion. Libraries should expect demand for the latest in a best-selling series that appeals to fantasy readers of all ages. Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
