Terry Brooks
The Golden Compass is one of the best fantasy / adventure stories that I have read. This is a book no one should miss.
Terry Brooks
The future is an ever-shifting maze of possibilities until it becomes the present. The future I have shown you tonight is not yet fixed. But it is more likely to become so with the passing of every day because nothing is being done to turn it aside. If you would change it, do as I have told you.
Terry Brooks
