Terry Brooks writes epic fantasy, best known for the long-running Shannara sequence. The Sword of Shannara begins with Shea Ohmsford, who is drawn into a quest to confront the Warlock Lord in a world of elves, dwarves, magic and ruined remnants of an older civilisation. Later Shannara series move across generations and gradually reveal more about the connection between this fantasy world and a devastated technological past. Brooks also wrote the Magic Kingdom of Landover novels, which use a lighter premise in which a lawyer purchases a magical kingdom advertised in a catalogue. His fiction is accessible, quest-driven and built for long series reading. It fits classic epic fantasy, post-apocalyptic fantasy and secondary-world adventure, particularly for readers of David Eddings and Raymond E. Shannara is the main route into Brooks for classic epic fantasy and long generational series reading; Magic Kingdom of Landover is lighter and more comic, with a modern outsider dropped into a magical realm.
