About this listen

 In this prequel to The Sword of Shannara, in which many details of the Four Lands' history are revealed, Druids, horrified by the misuse of magic, have eschewed it in favor of science. But Bremen the Druid studies magic, and becomes an outcast on its account. Bremen discovers that an invincible army of trolls are fast conquering all that lay to their south. Before them come the Nazgul-like Skull Bearers, disfigured and transformed Druids who have fallen prey to the dark arts. And at their head is an evil archmage and former Druid called Brona. Bremen realizes that if the peoples of the Four Lands are to evade slavery, they will have to unite. But to defeat Brona, they will need a mighty weapon: the Sword of Shannara.©1996 Terry Brooks (P)2003 Books on Tape, Inc. Epic Epic Fantasy Fantasy Fiction Magic Users Magic

My first audible experience. Not quite what I was expecting. Would prefer straight narration, not strange fake accents for some of the characters. Saves me reading, I can sew, knit, & crochet whilst listening and I’m not constantly watching the bad news on the tv. I will persevere.
