What a great way to provide more insight into what was such an important story for the Shannara world. I love seeing glimpses into what it was like just before Sword of Shannara. Keep pumping these out!

Excellent read for only 99 cents. I definitely hope he writes more of these soon to fill in the stories of different characters.

Fills in between the story between the origin of Allanon and the original trilogy nicely but distracts with duplicated pages, misspelled words, and grammatical errors. Unfortunately this lack of quality and polish is quite common with his ebook titles.

I have been a Terry Brooks fan since the late 1970s when I read The Sword of Shannara as a comic strip in the Chicago Tribune. Since then I have read allis books. Allanon's Quest is a short, interesting prelude to the book that started it all. Brooks gives a little more insight and motivation to the main character as well as more history behind Shea Olmsford. I believe that having the format of ebooks will allow Mr. Brooks and other authors the same opportunity to explore and expand upon the characters and lands they have created.

I forced myself to wait until 2 days before the "Wards of Farie" release date to read the excerpt... Now I'm gonna be driving myself crazy trying to occupy my brain while I wait for the 21st to arrive. I've read all 20 or so books in the Shannara series and loved every single one.. Although I like the ones after the great wars a lot more. 2 more days til my preorder downloads!! I'm so stoked... Plus I hear another book is coming out in September, then another every six months for the next year and a half starting with Khyber being the Ard Ryhs or however u spell it... Anyways... The Paladins of Shannara is a good read.. Although it only takes an hour or so to read, it's cool to see how Allanon comes to find the "person he needs" (for those who haven't read the Sword of Shannara) If you are one of those people, don't wait. Go out and buy all three books in the series.. I promise u won't be disappointed... Thanks Terry Brooks, Sincerely, Jace '-,-'

While reading Allanon's quest a curious thing began to happen to me. I started to get the same feeling of excitement I had the first time I picked up Sword do Shannara. This short story manages to recapture the feeling of the first book of the series, behaving like a prolog that was always there. I would suggest this quick read to any fan of the series looking to get more of their favirote Druid. It would also make a great starting part for curious readers looking for a place to beet thier feet wet in the Shannara universe.

What I was able to read was great but the fact that it is missing multiple pages makes this not worth purchasing.

Mesmerizing! I envy his ability to pull you into the story!!!

What can I say? Simply perfection.

Excellent read once again another fine book from Mr. Brooks.
