Eldon Thompson

Like most fantasy writers, Eldon Thompson is an avid weightlifter and wishes he was playing quarterback in the NFL. But a hardcover deal with HarperCollins for his Legend of Asahiel trilogy seems a fair consolation prize. In it, he is dutifully following some of the longest-standing conventions of the genre... so that he can tear them all down and catch a reader or two by surprise. If that doesn't work, he is on the verge of making a splash in Hollywood—and hopes that he won't merely drown. His screenplay adaptation of Terry Brooks's Shannara is currently in development at Warner Bros.

"This captivating tale will have you turning the pages late into the night..."

— Terry Brooks (Shannara)
