Review: Brooks gives us more of what we've asked for

I don't really like handing out the 5-star review lightly but this was a great short story. Garet Jax is one of the more popular characters in Terry Brook's Shannara series, perhaps even right up there with the druid Allanon. Brooks' prose shines in this short story and we learn more about the weapons master's back story and a mysterious woman who makes a lasting impression on the man.The evil Garet fights is so immediately disturbing that I couldn't help but wish that Brooks had worked him into a full length novel.Fans of Shannara will enjoy this immensely and perhaps even find it too short for their liking. Of course no good book is ever long enough, is it?I bought this at the .99 cent price point but even at triple that price I would have felt like I got my money's worth.
