Product Description

When the body of a half-drowned elf is found floating in the seas of the Blue Divide, an old mystery resurfaces. Thirty years ago, an expedition in search of a legendary, ancient magic set out. But none who went ever returned. Until now. For the rescued elf carries a map covered with mysterious symbols only one man can decipher. That man is Walker Boh, the last of the Druids. But one other person understands the map's significance - the Ilse Witch, a beautiful but twisted young woman, who wields a magic as potent as Walker's own. She will stop at nothing to possess the map - and the magic it leads to. To stop her, Walker must find the magic first. And thus begins the voyage of the sleek, swift airship Jerle Shannara. The company chosen by Walker must fly into the face of unknown terrors while the Ilse Witch and her dark allies follow, waiting to strike...

Absolutely Brilliant!
This is probably the best book I have ever read. It was so epic, there was so much depth. I could feel the pain the characters were going through, and there were so many twists and turns and revelations I was completely gripped all the way through. The description is vivid, the action is gripping, the suspense is wonderful. Fantabulously written!!!

Really good
I really enjoyed reading this and as a 'follow on' to all the other Shannara books it was good. Lighthearted and unputdownable and I drove my family mad until I had finished it, as I always end up doing with the Shannara series!!
I had always been aware that at some point Brooks would make some reference to 20th/21st Century in the books(I think it was a metal monster or something similar that was referred to in a previous book) and was dreading it!! However this was actually quite painless and it was interesting to see how the magic vs. technology aspect worked out. Also thankfully it was only a small amount of the trilogy that actually dealt with said technology and it worked really well.

Highly recommendable for all Terry Brooks fans and newcomers to the Shannara series would probably enjoy it as well, although some references may be somewhat strange. Has definitely made me what to read the all the Shannara stories again!

wonderful
Truly wonderful book. If you like fantasy or any of the other Shannaras, buy it.
