The Voyage Of The Jerle Shannara 3: Morgawr by Terry Brooks, ISBN 9780743414968

> Fiction Books > Science Fiction / Fantasy Books

With the armies of darkness swarming against the rapidly dwindling members of the Jerle Shannara, the last stand between good and evil begins. . .

Terry Brooks became the master of epic fantasy with the publication of his legendary debut, 'The Sword Of Shannara'. Since then, each new novel in the 'Shannara' saga has brilliantly built upon and deepened the world of breathtaking magic, adventure, and intrigue he created.

In 'The Voyage Of The Jerle Shannara - his third mesmerising series - Brooks literally took his legions of loyal readers soaring to new heights as a colourful contingent of characters took to the skies aboard a magnificent airship on a quest fraught with wonder and danger.

Now in Morgawr, the quest at last draws to its climactic conclusion, as the forces of good and evil vying against each other to possess an ancient magic race towards an explosive clash - and whatever fate awaits the victor . . . and the vanquished.

Harrowing confrontations with the merciless Ilse Witch and the monstrous Antrax have already taken their toll on the intrepid heroes of the Four Lands. But their darkest adversary now snaps at their heels, in the form of the Morgawr - master of the Ilse Witch, feeder upon the souls of his enemies, and centuries-old sorcerer of unimaginable might.

With a fleet of airships and a crew of walking dead men at his command, the Morgawr is in relentless pursuit of the Jerle Shannara and the crew that mans her. For the Morgawr, the goal is two fold: to find and control the fabled ancient books of magic, and to destroy the dark disciple who betrayed him - the Ilse Witch. But the Ilse Witch is already a prisoner . . . of herself.

Exposed to the awesome power of the Sword of Shannara, and forced to confront the truth of her horrifying deeds, she has fled deep into her own mind. Now at the mercy of those who seek vengeance against her, her only protector is her long-lost brother, Bek Ohmsford, who is determined to redeem his beloved sister . . . and deliver her to the destiny predicted for her by the Druid Walker Boh.

Once again, Terry Brooks weaves together high adventure, vividly wrought characters, and a spellbinding world into an irresistible story of heroism and sacrifice, love and honour. In 'Morgawr', fans of the 'Shannara' mythos will find both a satisfying finale and the promise of new wonders yet to come.

About the Author: Terry Brooks

Terence Dean "Terry" Brooks (born January 8, 1944) is a writer of fantasy fiction. He writes mainly epic fantasy,[2] and has also written two movie novelizations. He has written 22 New York Times bestsellers during his writing career,[2] and has over 21 million copies of his books in print.[3] He is one of the biggest selling living fantasy writers.

Brooks was born in the rural midwestern town of Sterling, Illinois and spent a large part of his life living there.[5] He is an alumnus of Hamilton College, obtaining his B.A. in English Literature in 1966.[5] He later obtained a J.D. from Washington and Lee University. He was a practicing attorney before becoming a full-time author, and now resides in Seattle, Washington with his wife, Judine.[5]

Brooks had been a writer since high school, writing mainly in the genres of science fiction, western, fiction, and non-fiction.[5] One day, in his early college life, he was given a copy of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, which inspired him to write in one genre.[5] While Tolkien inspired the genre, Brooks stated at the Charlotte Literary Festival that he credits the inspiration of his style of writing to William Faulkner's works. With this inspiration, he then made his debut in 1977 with his first novel The Sword of Shannara. [5] This novel became the first fantasy book ever to appear on the New York Times bestseller list, where it stayed for five months.[5]

After finishing two sequels (which were originally intended as stand-alone novels[citation needed]) to The Sword of Shannara, Brooks moved on to the series which would become known as the Landover novels.[5] Brooks then wrote four-book series titled The Heritage of Shannara.[5] For the next fourteen years, he wrote more Landover books, then went on to write The Word and Void trilogy. Continuing the Shannara series, Brooks wrote the prequel to The Sword of Shannara, titled First King of Shannara. He then wrote two series, The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara and High Druid of Shannara and recently finished a third, Genesis of Shannara, a trilogy bridging his Word and Void and Shannara series. His next project has been announced as a novel in the Landover series.
