Fifty years from now, our world is unrecognisable. Pollution and warfare have poisoned the skies, the water and the soil. Pockets of society still exist, living in highly fortified strongholds, while those outside the walls roam the landscape - either predator or prey. But even these isolated compounds are not safe; armies of demons and once-men assault their defences, and inevitably, one by one, they succumb. Civilisation has fallen and anarchy is the only law. It will be up to others to usher in the New . . .

    It took me at least three to four attempts before I would start reading this book; I enjoyed very much the Shannara's saga and I was worried it would ruin my memories.
    But I've been aching to know what was before since when I stumbled in that chapter - of one of the Shannara's books, I can't recall which one - where the action was inside one of the OLD World cities.
    So eventually I took my chance and started reading this, and I'm happy I did it.
    I won't make any comparison with the Shannara's former books as I read them too long ago; however, this Armageddon's Children works pretty well and I'm happy to be allowed to read about fantasy placed in a well known context instead of in a imaginary land, world and time.
    There is one problem only: like many authors nowadays do, here also the writer ends the book abruptly on the verge of at least three or even four crucial events; don't make the mistake of not having the follow-up ready at hand when about to finish this one.

    Enjoy!

  • The Old Shannara universe emerging into the modern world??? AWESOME! To appreciate this, read all other Shannara books first, and I suppose it would be good to read the Knight of the Word series too, although I haven't read that yet.

  • Just couldn't get into it, maybe will revisit in a different frame of mind. Not so into the post apocalyptic scenarios..
