1: Great Ending
Well, the Genesis of Shannara series was the first Brooks I've ever read, and I must say that the man is a genius. His writing style kept me engaged at every turn; he was never overly wordy; and his world is very interesting. I recommend this series to anyone, and this book is a well deserved ending to the series.

This is a great book, and a great ending to a trilogy! I love Terry'S books! He's my all-time favorite author.

3: Great read! Great series!
Greate read! I have to say that the chapters about Wills haunted me for a few nights.
I enjoyed the Genesis of Shannara series and the The Word and the Void series as much or even more than the rest of the Shannara books.
I highly recommend all of them. I hope there are more to come.

5: Escape to the Promised Land
The Gypsy Morph (2007) is the third fantasy novel in the Genesis of Shannara subseries, following The Elves of Cintra. In the previous volume, Hawk and Tessa returned from the gardens of the King of the Silver River. Logan Tom was unconscious after his fight against the Krilka Koos. Angel Perez was severely wounded in her fight with the demon Delloreen.
Simralin was injured by the demon posing as Culph. Kirisin was under the demon's power until Sim stabbed the demon in the leg. When the demon lost his concentration, Kirisin used the elfstones to burn him to dust.
In this novel, Wills is the last survivor in the US Missile Command. His higher authority was destroyed by nuclear attacks, disease or other fatal incidents. His peers died of biological weapons or suicide. Now he is alone and cannot even find the code to release the locks on the exits. Still, he has the capability of firing one or more of the remaining nuclear missiles.
Angel Perez has been pulling herself toward the cave where she can find friends, warmth and medical treatment. But she has lost her way and is dying from her wounds and the cold. She is beginning to lose feeling in her body and is dreaming of Johnny.
Kirisin uses the elfstones to locate Angel. She has painfully pulled herself near to the cave entrance before losing consciousness. He wakes her and helps her inside. He administers medicine to make her sleep and sews up her wounds.
Simralin watches her little brother sew up Angel's wounds and helps him clean off the blood and gore. She falls asleep after they have finished treating the Knight of the Word. Her injuries are not as bad as Angel's, But she has a head injury and Kirisin is afraid to let her sleep for very long at a time.
When Simralin finally awakens from her healing sleep, they decide to take Angel to a healer. They also need to warn Arborlon about the army of demons and once-men. Kirisin and Simralin make a sling and carry Angel back down the mountain.
In this story, Hawk, Tessa and Cheney return to the Ghosts. They tell about the rescue and the gardens and learn about Logon Tom. Then Hawk goes to the hay wagon and revives Logan Tom with his magic.
Logan Tom has forgotten some details of his battle with the Krilka Koos, but he does remember his emotional response to the killing. He has always had an emotional reaction to his battle experiences. Yet this time he is horrified by his enjoyment in the power of his magic.
Then the Lady comes in a dream and sends Logan Tom to Kirisin to protect the Loden Stone. He leaves the S-150 Lightning with the Ghosts and hikes toward the Elven territory. Along the way, he discovers another, more powerful, AV in a locked shed.
This tale brings Logan Tom to the Elves just as the demons invade their forest. King Arissen Belloruus learns that he has been duped by the demons and leads his Trackers and Hunters in a final defense of Arborlon. Meanwhile, Hawk faces an army of demons and once-men led by Findo Gask.
This work concludes the Genesis of Shannara trilogy. The threat is even greater in this work than in the prior volumes. The humans, Elves and mutants can only flee to the promised land. Enjoy!
Highly recommended for Brooks fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of high magic, heroic quests, and a touch of romance.
