Book description
It is the beginning of the hottest July in decades, and two men have
come to Hopewell, Illinois. One is not human, a dark servant of the
Void, who will use the anger and frustration of the community to achieve
a terrible secret goal. The other is John Ross, a Knight of the Word.
While he sleeps, he lives in the hell the world will become if he fails
to change its course on waking. John Ross has been given the ability to
see the future. But does he have the power to change it? At stake is the
soul of a fourteen-year-old girl and the lives of the people of
Hopewell. And that's just the beginning. This Fourth of July, while
friends and families picnic in Sinnissippi Park and fireworks explode in
celebration of freedom and independence, the fate of Humanity itself
will be decided... Terry Brooks was a practising attorney for many
years, but now writes full time. His first novel, THE SWORD OF SHANNARA,
remained on the New York Times bestseller list for 5 months. Every one
of the 23 novels that have followed has been an international
bestseller.
