Hopefully we will all see the final conflict, in which the very shape of the land is changed (from that of our world) into the Four Lands (of shannara). |
Me too, Dek. I also thought Armageddon's Children was great. Barristan, I'm late reading this thread, but your catch on Allanon's (the druid character from the story, not the Chrons member, with apologies to the latter!) reference to the Word is great. I skimmed the sections I thought it might be in, but couldn't find it.
Regarding our world, I haven't read any of the referenced Brooks' interviews, but IMHO the story in
Sword definitely starts as a future hundreds (if not thousands) of years from our "now". (Tons of references in
Sword alone, from Allanon's opening narrative to the King of the Silver River's flashlight to the rusting steel girders where the beast that attacked the valemen lived, etc.). If you pick up the connection from
The Word and the Void series, Brooks is joining the timelines from the two series in
Armageddon's Children just a relatively few decades into our fictional future, ostensibly (among many other plot connections, I'm sure) to finally tell that tale of the Elves "...that must wait for a later time...".
OK, what have I missed?
