Legends II - Several years ago Robert Silverberg put together a fantasy anthology to end all fantasy anthologies for TOR Books. It was titled Legends and had such names as Stephen King, Robert Jordan, Ursula Le Guin, Silverberg himself, as well as Terry Pratchett, Terry Goodkind, Orson Scott Card, Tad Williams, George R.R. Martin, Anne McCaffrey, and Raymond E. Feist. The project was hugely successful, due to the idea that Silverberg wanted each author to write in the respective world that made them popular. Legends II , which is a tentative title at the moment, will bring the majority of these individuals back for another project of short novels in the respective worlds they write in under the Del Rey publishing house. During the last project Silverberg really wanted to work with Terry but Terry didn't feel comfortable with a Shannara story being published outside of Del Rey where his success all began. Now that Del Rey has the second Legends anthology Terry decided to be a part of it. Other possible names involved in the project are Robin Hobb, Neil Gaiman, Elizabeth Haydon, George R.R. Martin, Anne McCaffrey, Tad Williams, Orson Scott Card, Terry Pratchett, Ursula K. Le Guin, Raymond E. Feist, and Silverberg himself. By December 2002 Terry is submitting a short Shannara novel, anywhere from 90-150 pages in length, to be published sometime in 2003 in second Legends anthology.
The title of the next Shannara series is The Ard Rhys of Shannara. The new trilogy piggybacks off of the events of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara trilogy, and is similarly broken into three books that encompass an overall storyline. The first book in the new series, tentatively titled Farka Ruus (meaning 'Banished Peoples' in elvish), will be published September 2003. If you see Terry on the road he is reading an excerpt from that book at certain locations.
