New York, NY, USA: Del Rey Books/ Random House, 2006. First Edition. Hardcover. Inscribed, signed & dated by Terry Brooks. "Terry Brooks is one of a handful of writers whose work defines modern fantasy fiction. His twenty-three international bestsellers have ranged from the beloved Shannara series to stories that tread a much darker path. Armageddon's Children is a new creation- the perfect opportunity for readers unfamiliar with Brooks's previous work to experience an author at the height of his considerable storytelling powers. It is a gripping chronicle of a once-familiar world now spun shockingly out of control, in which an extraordinary few struggle to salvage hope in the face of terrifying chaos." (from front flap) An acclaimed dystopian-fantasy novel by the popular, most-prolific award-winning American author Terence "Terry" (Dean) Brooks (b. 1944). In this riveting, page-turning volume, "...Brooks brings his gifts as a mythmaker to the timeless theme of the unending, essential conflict between darkness and light- and carries his unique imaginative vision to a stunning new level. Prepare for a breathtaking tour de force. To those who are new to Terry Brooks, welcome. And to those who have read him for many years: prepare for a dramatic surprise." (from rear flap) Hardcover in unclipped dust jacket, first edition as stated at copyright page, first printing as indicated by number sequence thereon. At title page, Brooks has cursively hand-written, signed & dated in bold black ink: To Steve/ Magic/ Go Keep The/ Demon at Bay/ Best always/ (signed) Terry Brooks/ 09/18/06."
