Video: Terry Brooks Reads From New Book

Terry Brooks likes to give a gift to his fans during the holiday season.

It is the same this year.

Several months ago, when he toured in support of A Princess of Landover, Terry read from his forthcoming story, Bearers of the Black Staff. It was a work in progress at that time, the editing of the book still a month from happening. Terry likes reading from the next book every year because he knows a great many people at his events have already read the new book—and why would they want to listen to him reading something they have already read?

Makes sense to me!

Plus it always gives fans an early look at what he is working on.

Bearers of the Black Staff is the tale that takes place 500 years after the events in The Gypsy Morph, where the descendants of the survivors from the Genesis of Shannara series fight against a new and terrible world that has infiltrated their safe valley and wants their destruction.

Here is Terry reading Chapter 2 of Bearers of the Black Staff:
