He does so by way of subtle hints here, gentle pointers there tiny revelations that pull the threads tighter and tighter, helping you spot how mankind’s – and indeed, every races – greatest enemy managed to avoid annihilation, only to seek further ruination. I really love the way Brooks has maneuvered the pieces on the board in this novel, for here at last we see the true seeds of those civilizations – and magic bearers – who go on to eventually make up the legend that is Shannara. The world that is collides with the remnants of the world that was, igniting a spark that could wreak utter ruination once more, unless the only remaining Knight of the Word – Sider Ament – can do something about it. But the curtain is failing and those outside the protective barrier have, for the most part, been changed into something else, something feral and altogether different. Hidden safely away behind a formidable foreboding of magic, that community has thrived for five hundred years. In “Bearers of the Black Staff” we join the descendants of those humans, elves and mutants who followed the boy Hawk and gained the safety of the hidden sanctuary before a global apocalypse destroyed what was left of a civilization already devastated by nuclear war.
