The Shannara Chronicles will premiere January 5th! It is a TV series based on the Shannara novels of Terry Brooks, the 10-episode first season adapting The Elfstones of Shannara. And I have to say, it is great. I've seen it. Executive producers Jon Favreau, Al Gough, Miles Millar, Jonathan Liebesman, Terry Brooks, and Dan Farah have been able to maintain the integrity of the novel while bringing the visual aspect of the TV series more in line with the overall Shannara novels. It makes for powerful storytelling and I'm eager to see what you all think about it! There have been a number of trailers and film images released but they are just the tip of the iceberg. For instance, Penguin Random House is producing beautiful books with new covers for The Elfstones of Shannara and The Wishsong of Shannara. And here is something else! You can win an entire Shannara library—the books signed by Terry himself! Here are the details:
Shawn Speakman is the author of The Dark Thorn, an urban/epic fantasy hybrid novel bestselling author Terry Brooks calls, "a fine tale by a talented writer." He also edited the bestselling anthology Unfettered. When Shawn isn’t lying for a living, he runs The Signed Page and Grim Oak Press. Follow him on Facebook and @shawnspeakman!
