Book I of Genesis of Shannara. Fifty years from now, our world is unrecognisable. Pollution and warfare have poisoned the skies, the water and the earth. Pockets of society still exist in fortified strongholds, while those outside the walls roam the landscape - either prey or predator. But even these compounds are not safe; armies of demons and once-men assault the defences and inevitably, one by one, they fall - anarchy is the only law. Logan Tom and Angel Perez are the last two Knights to stand against the forces of chaos; they have the ability to resist the dark tide and to them will fall twin tasks: to find and protect and very old and a very new magic. They are humanity's last hope. They have the power to halt the destruction of the old world...Cover art by Steve Stone.
