Answer the following question: Information: - The First King of Shannara is a 1996 epic fantasy novel by Terry Brooks. - The supernatural (Medieval Latin: "superntrlis": "supra" "above" + "naturalis" "natural", first used: 15201530 AD) includes all that cannot be explained by science or the laws of nature, including things characteristic of or relating to ghosts, gods, or other supernatural beings, or to things beyond nature. - Armageddon 's Children is the first novel in Terry Brooks ' fantasy trilogy The Genesis of Shannara , which bridges the events of Brooks ' Word and Void trilogy with his Shannara series . It takes place in an apocalyptic world around the year 2100 ( about eighty years after the novel Angel Fire East ) and details the events during the Great Wars , a historical conflict referenced frequently in the Shannara books . It is followed by the novel The Elves of Cintra . - Orbit Books is an international publisher that specialises in science fiction and fantasy books. It was founded in 1974 as part of the Macdonald Futura publishing company. In 1992, its parent company was bought by Little, Brown & Co., at that stage part of the Time Warner Book Group. - Speculative fiction is a broad umbrella genre denoting any narrative fiction with supernatural or futuristic elements; this encompasses the genres of science fiction, fantasy, horror, alternative history, magic realism, and superhero fiction, as well as combinations of the previous genres. It typically strays strongly from reality and so may feature fictional types of beings like mythical creatures and supernatural entities, technologies that do not exist in real life like time machines and interstellar spaceships, or magical or otherwise scientifically inexplicable elements. The term's popularity is sometimes attributed to Robert Heinlein, who referenced it in 1947 in an editorial essay, although there are prior mentions of speculative fiction, or its variant "speculative literature". - High fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy, defined either by its setting in a fictional universe or by the epic stature of its characters, themes, and plot. The term "high fantasy" was coined by Lloyd Alexander in a 1971 essay, "High Fantasy and Heroic Romance". - Science fiction (often shortened to SF, sci-fi or scifi) is a genre of speculative fiction, typically dealing with imaginative concepts such as futuristic science and technology, space travel, time travel, faster than light travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life. Science fiction often explores the potential consequences of scientific and other innovations, and has been called a "literature of ideas." It usually avoids the supernatural, and unlike the related genre of fantasy, historically science fiction stories were intended to have a grounding in science-based fact or theory at the time the story was created, but this connection is now limited to hard science fiction. - Fantasy is a fiction genre set in an imaginary universe, often but not always without any locations, events, or people from the real world. Most fantasy uses magic or other supernatural elements as a main plot element, theme, or setting. Magic and magical creatures are common in many of these imaginary worlds. Fantasy is generally distinguished from the genres of science fiction and horror by the expectation that it steers clear of scientific and macabre themes, respectively, though there is a great deal of overlap between the three, all of which are subgenres of speculative fiction. - Shannara is a series of high fantasy novels written by Terry Brooks, beginning with "The Sword of Shannara" in 1977 and continuing through "The Sorcerer's Daughter" which was released in May 2016; there is also a prequel, "First King of Shannara". The series blends magic and primitive technology and is set in the Four Lands, which are identified as Earth long after civilization was destroyed in a chemical and nuclear holocaust called the Great Wars. By the time of the prequel "First King of Shannara", the world had reverted to a pre-industrial state and magic had re-emerged to supplement science. - Terence Dean "Terry" Brooks (born January 8, 1944) is an American writer of fantasy fiction. He writes mainly epic fantasy, and has also written two movie novelizations. He has written 23 "New York Times" bestsellers during his writing career, and has over 21 million copies of his books in print. He is one of the biggest-selling living fantasy writers. - Angel Fire East is the third and final novel in the "Word & Void series" by Terry Brooks, written as a prequel to his "Shannara" series. It was first published in 1999 by Ballantine's Del Rey division. The novel takes place around Christmas in 2012, ten years after the events of "A Knight of the Word". The story returns to the town of Hopewell, Illinois as Nest Freemark and John Ross attempt to unlock a potentially world-altering magic. Brooks' "The Genesis of Shannara" trilogy, beginning with "Armageddon's Children", follows this book chronologically. - Fiction is the classification for any story or universe derived from imaginationin other words, not based strictly on history or fact. Fiction can be expressed in a variety of formats, including writings, live performances, films, television programs, animations, video games, and role-playing games, though the term originally and most commonly refers to the narrative forms of literature (see "literary" fiction), including the novel, novella, short story, and play. Fiction constitutes an act of creative invention, so that faithfulness to reality is not typically assumed; in other words, fiction is not expected to present only characters who are actual people or descriptions that are factually true. The context of fiction is generally open to interpretation, due to fiction's freedom from any necessary embedding in reality; however, some fictional works are claimed to be, or marketed as, historically or factually accurate, complicating the traditional distinction between fiction and non-fiction. Fiction is a classification or category, rather than a specific mode or genre, unless used in a narrower sense as a synonym for a particular literary fiction form. - A Knight of the Word is the second novel in the "Word & Void series" by Terry Brooks, written as a prequel to his "Shannara" series. It was first published in 1998 by Ballantine's Del Rey division (ISBN 978-0-345-37963-4). The setting is primarily Seattle, Washington around Halloween in 2002, five years after the events of "Running with the Demon". The story follows John Ross as he attempts to leave his life in service to the Word, while Nest Freemark tries to restore his faith. It is followed by the novel "Angel Fire East". - The Genesis of Shannara is a series of novels written by Terry Brooks. The first book, "Armageddon's Children", was released by Del Rey Books on August 29, 2006, in the United States and by Orbit Books on September 7, 2006, in the United Kingdom. These novels bridge the "Word & Void series" with the "Legends of Shannara" series, two other of Brooks' productions. They cover events during The Great Wars, which are alluded to often in the "Shannara" series. - The Elves of Cintra is the second novel in Terry Brooks's epic fantasy trilogy "The Genesis of Shannara". The series bridges the events of Brooks' "Word & Void series" with his acclaimed novel "The Sword of Shannara" and the subsequent trilogy. It immediately follows the novel "Armageddon's Children". It details events during the Great Wars, a historical conflict referenced frequently in the "Shannara" books. The conclusion to the trilogy and the sequel to "The Elves of Cintra" is "The Gypsy Morph", which was released in August 2008. - Del Rey Books is a branch of Ballantine Books, which is owned by Random House and, in turn, by Penguin Random House. It is a separate imprint established in 1977 under the editorship of author Lester del Rey and his wife Judy-Lynn del Rey. It specializes in science fiction and fantasy books, and formerly manga under its (now defunct) Del Rey Manga imprint. It publishes the "Star Wars" novels under the LucasBooks imprint (licensed from Lucasfilm, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Studios division of The Walt Disney Company). - The Sword of Shannara is a 1977 epic fantasy novel by Terry Brooks. It is the first book of the "Original Shannara Trilogy", followed by "The Elfstones of Shannara" and "The Wishsong of Shannara". Brooks was heavily influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and began writing "The Sword of Shannara" in 1967. It took him seven years to complete, as he was writing the novel while attending law school. Ballantine Books used it to launch the company's new subsidiary Del Rey Books. Its success boosted the commercial expansion of the fantasy genre. - Genre (or ; from French "genre" , "kind" or "sort", from Latin "genus" (stem "gener-"), Greek , "ges") - Illinois is a state in the midwestern region of the United States, achieving statehood in 1818. It is the 5th most populous state and 25th largest state in terms of land area, and is often noted as a microcosm of the entire country. The word "Illinois" comes from the Algonquin word for "tribe of superior men". With Chicago in the northeast, small industrial cities and great agricultural productivity in central and northern Illinois, and natural resources like coal, timber, and petroleum in the south, Illinois has a diverse economic base and is a major transportation hub. The Port of Chicago connects the state to other global ports from the Great Lakes, via the Saint Lawrence Seaway, to the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River, via the Illinois River. For decades, O'Hare International Airport has been ranked as one of the world's busiest airports. Illinois has long had a reputation as a bellwether both in social and cultural terms and politics.
