Armaggedon's Children
I bought this book in 2006 when first published but over the years I lost my original copy or loaned it out so I ordered this copy to replace it. I enjoyed the book when first read in 2006 and enjoyed it when I read again in 2022. You just can't go wrong by reading one of Terry Brooks wonderful books. Since I have every book he has written I highly recommend this this author to new readers who want a next level reading experience.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
