Terry Brooks is one of a handful of writers whose work defines modern fantasy fiction. His twenty-three international bestsellers have ranged from the beloved Shannara series to stories that tread a much darker path. Armageddon's Children is a new creation - the perfect opportunity for listeners unfamiliar with Brooks's previous work to experience an author at the height of his considerable storytelling powers. It is a gripping chronicle of a once-familiar world now spun shockingly out of control, in which an extraordinary few struggle to salvage hope in the face of terrifying chaos.Logan Tom is doomed to remember the past and determined to rescue the future. Far behind him lies a boyhood cut violently short by his family's slaughter, when the forces of madness and hate swept our world after decadent excesses led to civilization's downfall. Somewhere ahead of him rests the only chance to beat back the minions of evil that are systematically killing and enslaving the last remnants of humanity. Navigating the scarred and poisoned landscape that once was America and guided by a powerful talisman, Logan has sworn an oath to seek out a remarkable being born of magic, possessed of untold abilities, and destined to lead the final fight against darkness.Across the country, Angel Perez, herself a survivor of the malevolent death-dealing forces combing the land, has also been chosen for an uncanny mission in the name of her ruined world's salvation. From the devastated streets of Los Angeles, she will journey to find a place - and a people - shrouded in mystery, celebrated in legend, and vital to the cause of humankind . . . even as a relentless foe follows close behind, bent on her extermination. Meanwhile, in the nearly forsaken city of Seattle, a makeshift family of refugees has carved out a tenuous existence among the street gangs, mutants, and marauders fighting to stay alive against mounting odds - and something unspeakable that has come from the shadows in search of prey. In time, all their paths will cross. Their common purpose will draw them together. Their courage and convictions will be tested and their fates will be decided, as their singular crusade begins: to take back, or lose forever, the only world they have.In Armageddon's Children, Brooks brings his gifts as a mythmaker to the timeless theme of the unending, essential conflict between darkness and light - and carries his unique imaginative vision to a stunning new level. Prepare for a breathtaking tour de force. To those who are new to Terry Brooks, welcome. And to those who have read him for many years: prepare for a dramatic surprise.… (més)

    The Stand de Stephen King (lquilter)
    lquilter: Terry Brooks' Armageddon's Children is basically a YA post-apocalyptic gathering of the forces, much like Stephen King's adult-fiction version, The Stand. Brooks' AC is more high-fantasy good-versus-evil, and King's is more Christian eschatology, but both involve dark forces working towards a final show-down, in a post-apocalyptic world.… (més)

    Parable of the Sower de Octavia E. Butler (lquilter)
    lquilter: Butler's Parable duology is a million times better as a work of fiction than Brooks' "Genesis of Shannara" series, exploring serious themes and ideas. But if, like me, you simply like the grim, near-future, apocalyptic, world-is-running-down setting of Brooks, you might also like to explore it in Butler's more grown-up fiction.… (més)

Set in the future in a dystopian wasteland spotted with civilisations, this book follows several groups of characters are they live out their lives. We see life in a safe zone, the interactions between gangs of children outside of them and a knight's quest.

I loved the world building and enjoyed the politics of surviving the outside world the most. I did, however, find my focus slipping at times. I'll read the next book though. This book ends on a cliffhanger. ( )

FROM AMAZON: In our world’s near future, civilization has fallen into terrifying chaos. Navigating the scarred landscape that once was America and guided by a powerful talisman, Logan Tom has sworn an oath to seek out a remarkable being born of magic and destined to lead the final fight against darkness. In time, Logan’s path will cross with others: Angel Perez, herself a survivor of death-dealing forces, and a makeshift family of refugees forced to survive among street gangs, mutants, and marauders. Common purpose will draw Logan and his allies together. Their courage and convictions will be tested and their fates will be decided, as their singular crusade begins: to take back, or lose forever, the only world they have.

Very interesting, one of the few books I've ready in a long time that I couldn't put down. Set in a world a number of years in the future from the Word and the Void books by same author. Looking forward to reading the sequel. ( )

Not my favorite book by Terry. I am interested in how the story will evolve. I do know that the two worlds are to be meshed together somehow but that is part of the mystery behind Terry's work. ( )

I like the post-apocalypse twist in these books, the others feel more like LOTR - set in a world seperate from ours. I enjoy how he's brought the setting onto a familiar map, but still kept all of his usual touches. ( )
