Greetings! Welcome to the Orbital Sword! David, Scott and Jim are pleased to bring you their thoughts on the very first book in the Shannara saga, Running with the Demon by Terry Brooks.  Set in the modern era, this fantasy is set in a small town where everything seems to be coming together. The book focuses on a young girl who has a big job. She stands at a crossroad to either being a benevolent person, or perhaps contributing to the downfall of life on Earth as we know it.
