I don't remember any rape in the Shannara books, and I've read them all. There could be some implied scenes in the later books that I'm not remembering, but there's nothing graphic or even remotely overt. "A bunch of rape"? Nah... you're confusing it with something else. That's not Terry's cup of tea at all. Hell, there's here's only a handful of consensual, "vague references to intimacy" of any kind whatsoever in the first seven books; of that I'm sure. I remember even as a kid thinking they were a bit too "chaste."

Someone please find the "bunch of rape" in a Shannara book. I'd be curious to see how I missed it.
