Thanks for the suggestion Katsunami. The original Shannara trilogy was also among my first fantasy experiences and I think I read them all twice in no time at all (fantasy books were decidedly thin on the ground where I lived thirty years ago, so most things got read at least twice). Although I agree it's a dark story, the protagonists are all of the decidedly good variety, so not quite fitting the bill. I also agree it's his best book, although I remember being particularly fond of Garet Jax. :-)
