 allantine Books shockingly was not Terry's first choice to publish The Sword of Shannara. Terry chose DAW Books to send his first manuscript to because Ballantine already had Tolkien. DAW Books however rejected The Sword of Shannara and instead sent Terry to Lester Del Rey, the new Fantasy Editor at Ballantine. Del Rey Books, with Terry Brooks as its major foundation, was born.
From this humble beginning Terry has written 22 New York Times bestselling novels. But what is more marvelous about this fact is that those 22 novels vary greatly in the type of fantasy they present to the reader. The novels of Shannara are epic fantasy, grand and serious in scope. The Landover novels are light-hearted fantasy with a serious underlying morality hidden within them. Nearly the exact opposite from the Landover novels is the Word & Void series; a dark, contemporary fantasy. Note: For Terry's suggested reading order of Shannara novels, click HERE .
