Sinossi
Le Quattro Terre sono sotto assedio. In possesso di un'abilità magica praticamente incontrastabile, i misteriosi invasori sconfiggono ogni oppositore, dai più temibili eserciti Troll all'Ordine dei Druidi. Provenienti da una lontana nazione chiamata Skaar, i feroci aggressori riveleranno presto un volto più umano, che tuttavia non attenuerà in alcun modo la brutalità delle loro azioni. Dar Leah, un tempo la Lama del Druido Supremo, ha incrociato in precedenza le strade - e le spade - del leader degli Skaar Ajin d'Amphere, e sa bene che se esiste qualche speranza di vittoria, questa è riposta nelle mani del Druido Drisker Arc, ora intrappolato all'interno di Paranor, la fortezza scomparsa nel primo capitolo della saga. Mentre Drisker tenta di trovare l'«antica conoscenza» che potrebbe liberarlo, Dar va in cerca di Tarsha Kaynin, la giovane donna con il dono del Canto Magico, il cui potere potrebbe riportare Drisker nel mondo reale. Ma ben presto scopriranno che ciò che già sembrava una terribile invasione, è solo l'avanscoperta di un esercito immenso, il cui unico intento è la conquista totale. "L'invasione degli Skaar" è il secondo capitolo della nuova tetralogia "La Caduta di Shannara", con la quale Terry Brooks concluderà l'epopea di Shannara.

Recensioni
Terry Brooks is a fine writer of fantasy. His world building is strong and it comes with a huge amount of history and lore, some of which stems from previous books. It’s a great world, though the more books the author churns out the worse it gets. The problem I have is with Brooks’ inability to devi Leggi tutto
“He took the first breath of his new life” I’ve said it before about Terry Brooks’ novels and I’m happy to repeat it for THE SKAAR INVASION . As the Shannara universe enters its fifth decade and the series novel count approaches 40, it is difficult to believe that Terry Brooks’ writing remains as Leggi tutto
This sequel to The Black Elfstone does exactly what it’s supposed to do — with some twists! Where the first book sets up the players and the situation, this one puts it all into chaos. The familiar mingles with fresh ideas, making it an enjoyable read. Loved Drisker Arc again. But my favorite charact Leggi tutto
IT is difficult to image that there are just two more books left before the world of Shannara comes to a close. The second book in the tetralogy continues intricately crafted story arcs of Tarsha Kaynin, Drisker Arc and Ajin d’Amphere, with the introduction of one Shea Ohmsford. While the story is int Leggi tutto
Let’s start off with a disclosure of honesty. I have been reading Terry Brooks for a long time, for probably about 30 years. I am a long-time stalwart fan and not afraid to openly admit it. Like many other die-hard fantasy fans, I have been reading Terry Brooks “Shannara” and “Landover” series for ma Leggi tutto
A solid 2nd entry in the Fall of Shannara series. The Skaar Invasion picks up right after the events of the Black Elfstone, with the druid order destroyed, Drisker Arc trapped in the druid fortress of Paranor in a magical otherspace. His student Tarsha on her way to finally find and help her brother Leggi tutto
More MORE MORE!!! Dangit now I have to wait until next year to find out what happens?? And the stinking cliffhanger.....AAAAAGGGGGHHHH!! Anyways, Brooks at the top of his game, lovingly carrying out the end of his landmark Shannara series. And as I said in my review of the first book, I’m both sad an Leggi tutto
One of the best in the series Five stars and a bravo! If you are a true follower of this series, and many of the others that Terry Brooks have written, you will not be disappointed. I believe he has come back to a point in his earlier writing where you are immediately caught back up in the story, and Leggi tutto
