Review
In 1977, Terry Brooks debut The Sword of Shannara became a surprise bestseller, launching one of the most popular series in all fantasy fiction. Apart from the ongoing Shannara saga and his later "Magic Kingdoms" sequence, Terry Brooks has written the novelisation of Star Wars: Episode 1 The Phantom Menace, and the "Demon" contemporary fantasy trilogy. Following Running With the Demon and A Knight of the Word, Angel Fire East is the finale, and while the books do stand alone there is greater enjoyment to be had by reading trilogy complete.
It is 10 years after the events depicted in the previous volume, and again the world is pitched between the Word and the Void. Over the week leading to Christmas Day John Ross (who in his dreams lives the hellish future struggles to prevent them becoming real) and Nest Freemark (who can see the Feeders, supernatural creatures sustained by human emotions) are going to fight their most deadly supernatural battle. Beautifully written and at times very moving, this is a considerably darker sequence than the Shannara books, and will appeal to fans of Clive Barker's Imagica and Stephen King's Needful Things. With strong characterisation, a twisting plot and a real sense of dread and danger generating suspense and excitement, Angel Fire East can be taken as a gripping battle between good and evil, or even as a powerful Christian allegory in the classic tradition of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. --Gary S. Dalkin
