About this audiobook
New York Times bestselling author 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 enchanting series-he literally took his legions of loyal readers soaring to new heights as a colorful 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 honor. In Morgawr, fans of the Shannara mythos will find both a satisfying finale and the promise of new wonders yet to come.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The sequel to Ilse Witch. The rip-roaring adventure continues. The adventurers pit themselves against a malevolent AI that will do anything to stay alive and keep its secrets safe.This is the best book in the trilogy and the concept works really well.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a dark book. Full of violence this book is as grim as they come. Not as explicit as other writers I think it's actually made worse by the fact that everything is hinted at, kept just off-screen, so your mind has to fill in the horrible blanks.
I started this book late last night and as soon as I picked it up this morning I had to keep reading til it was over. Told in 3 parts the book switches between viewpoints as the story progresses. I wasn't expecting the book to suddenly go the angle it went. A quick, thrilling read. Though the ending was a bit predictable it's still worth reading. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The characters of Terry Brooks always keep me entranced! Can’t wait for more!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This isn't my favourite Duffy collection -- I think that prize has to go to Rapture, so far -- but I love several of the poems in it a lot. I especially love the imagery in "Warming Her Pearls". I love the last line of that especially -- "All night/I feel their absence and burn" -- although it needs the rest of the poem to be truly meaningful.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Oh, how do you do this? The action never stops, and yet somehow fails to arouse. The one thing Brooks managed was to make me empathise with the characters, so that's kept me going. Easy to read, but ultimately uninspiring. And somehow, I am already plunging into the third part.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Certainly there is a bit of cautionary message in this second book of the trilogy - even thousands of years later our modern technologies have the potential to be truly evil. The most interesting part of this part of the story for me was the way the different characters reacted as they were placed under such intense pressure. As in the first book, this one leaves the reader hanging and mourning the loss of many great characters.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm sorry but the 'Jerle' books were just a bit far-fetched for me. (They did however, make more sense after reading the 'Genesis' trilogy)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is much, much more gripping than, "Ilse Witch". The potential of all the characters, particularly Bek, Ahren, and Rue Meridian, and their relationships with each other is much more fully developed and more satisfying. An enjoyable read...Brooks series keep getting better.
