| Title: Legends Copyright: Published by: Del Rey Cover Artist: Extras: Dedication: Buy it: |
| There was an anthology released two years ago edited by Robert Silverberg titled Legends. It was published by TOR and contained short stories by Stephen King (Dark Tower Saga), Terry Goodkind (Sword of Truth), Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time), George RR Martin (A Song of Ice & Fire), Ursula K. Le Guin (Earthsea), Anne McCaffrey (Pern), Raymond E. Feist (Riftwar), Terry Pratchett (Discworld), Orson Scott Card (Alvin Maker), Robert Silverberg (Majipoor), and Tad Williams (Memory, Sorrow, & Thorn), all of which wrote in the respective series that made them masters. Many of you may ask why Terry wasn't included in that list above? Surely he is a master of fantasy and belongs there. Terry actually was offered the chance to be in Legends but he felt that since he began at Del Rey and that Del Rey is the home and forever shall be of the Shannara series, he couldn't take it to TOR. So he remained out of the project. That is about to change. Del Rey Books has recently acquired the Rights to do the second Legends anthology, at the moment untitled (but will probably remain Legends). The great news about this is that Terry has no qualms writing a Shannara novella for this second project, since it will be published by Del Rey! So, in 2003, we should see the publication of a true novella set in the Four Lands. What the subject will be, however, is still undetermined, but as fans can we see the possibility of a short story centered around Allanon, Walker Boh, or Garet Jax? Hmmm, could be. For those of you who are curious as to who will accompany Terry in Legends II, all will be back from the first Legends with the exception of Stephen King and Terry Goodkind. To fill those places there will be Terry, Neil Gaiman, and Robin Hobb! More on this as it becomes available!s. *above info from www.terrrybrooks.net |
