Alright, I know that Terry Brook's biggest work is definitely the Shannara series, and that the Genesis trilogy has bridged the Word series with the rest of the Shannara series. As of right now there are twenty Shannara books and the Magic Kingdom series only has a quarter of that, but it's a nice if somewhat whimsical series.I've read three and a half of these books. I own the first three and the fifth, and as soon as I find a copy of the Tangle Box at the used book store, I'm going to pick it up and finish the series. I guess I'm just cheap. Actually I borrowed this from the library while I lived in Tennessee in late 1995 and got through about half of it and just haven't got back around to it. Now isn't that procrastination at it's best? Thirteen years I've been meaning to get back to this, and one day I will.
The whole story revolves around a guy named Ben Holiday who's lost his wife and decides to check out from reality. He finds a catalog in the mail that was sent to his wife that lists a magical kingdom for sale for $1 million. He thinks it's a joke, but he decides to go for it anyway, and to his surprise it's true. There's good guys, wizards, a dragon, a witch, and hot green chicks. Gotta love that.
The first book is about Ben becoming the king of Landover, while the second and third books revolve around the other characters. I haven't read enough of the forth book or any of the fifth book, so no telling what they are about, but it still has got green chicks.
