Product Description
Terry Brooks won instant acclaim with his phenomenal New York Times bestseller The Sword of Shannara. Its sequels earned Brooks legendary status. Then his darkly enthralling The Word and the Void trilogy revealed new depths and vistas to his mastery of epic fantasy. Armageddon’s Children and The Elves of Cintra took Brooks’s remarkable mythos to a breathtaking new level by delving deep into the history of Shannara. And now, The Gypsy Morph rounds out–with an adventure of unforgettably imaginative scope–the first phase of a new chapter in this classic series.
Eighty years into the future, the United States is a no-man’s-land: its landscape blighted by chemical warfare, pollution, and plague; its government collapsed; its citizens adrift, desperate, fighting to stay alive. In fortified compounds, survivors hold the line against wandering predators, rogue militias, and hideous mutations spawned from the toxic environment, while against them all stands an enemy neither mortal nor merciful: demons and their minions bent on slaughtering and subjugating the last of humankind.
But from around the country, allies of good unite to challenge the rampaging evil. Logan Tom, wielding the magic staff of a Knight of the Word, has a promise to keep–protecting the world’s only hope of salvation–and a score to settle with the demon that massacred his family. Angel Perez, Logan’s fellow Knight, has risked her life to aid the elvish race, whose peaceful, hidden realm is marked for extermination by the forces of the Void. Kirisin Belloruus, a young elf entrusted with an ancient magic, must deliver his entire civilization from a monstrous army. And Hawk, the rootless boy who is nothing less than destiny’s instrument, must lead the last of humanity to a latter-day promised land before the final darkness falls.
The Gypsy Morph is an epic saga of a world in flux as the mortal realm yields to a magical one; as the champions of the Word and the Void clash for the last time to decide what will be and what must cease; and as, from the remnants of a doomed age, something altogether extraordinary rises.

 great book October 14, 2008
this was a great joining of the void series with the shannara series. had wondered for years how the great wars came about when they were described in the shannara series. also about the elves. was good to read about a "good" happening to the knights of the word. have all of the books by terry brooks. hope to read still more in the future. recommend this to complete the set.
Brooks does it again October 10, 2008
I was very pleased to finally get my hands on this book. Every year, I go through and read the entire collection, just to update myself for the next book. I love how this book finally binds what the Word and Void started to the world of Shannara. Now there is so much room to grow from the end of this book to First King of Shannara. I anxiously await more. Terry Brooks is the current king of fantasy.
Solid Finish to a Solid Series October 10, 2008
This was a good conclusion to a good series. I'm glad Terry has decided to bridge the Word and the Void and the Shannara series.
My only qualm is with the ending. There's not much of an epilogue. I would like to know a little bit about what happened to the characters. But then, maybe this is a bit premature, since there appears to be another series on the horizon.
The Terry Brooks saga October 9, 2008
This third part of the trilogy is sensational. The imagination and entertainement that this writer provides is first rate. If you have not read the first two books, go out and buy them, now you do not have to wait a whole year before the next book to come out.You can read one after the other. You have lost out on a original story that narrates the necessary merging of civilizations. That join the world we know with the magical and extraordinary world that together provide the basis for the next world. He grips the resder form the beginning and yarns a story to those of us who like to imagine and enter into adventures through books, you cannot lose. All his other books are equally entertaining and original.Sometimes the story seems a lot like what is really happening in our planet earth, we common people have allowed the so called dark forces in goverments and otherwise to do all over the world, just because they can get away with it. Read it, it will not disappoint.
The Gypsy Morph October 9, 2008
I will try not to sound too much like an enamored fan but I have to admit that Terry Brooks is one of my all time favorite authors. When I think of well written epic fantasy, Terry Brooks immediately comes to mind. I have good reason. I continue to pick up and read his books because I know that the story will be memorable, that the characters will be well developed and within a few chapters I will care what happens to them, that the action scenes are going to be spectacular, and that no character is ever completely safe.
The Gypsy Morph and the entire Genesis of Shannara is no expectation. In this series, we learn of the post-apocalyptic beginnings of Shannara. We meet great characters like Hawk, a seemingly average boy who finds out that he is actually the gypsy morph, a mystical entity whose destiny is to save humanity or be consumed by it. We also meet Knights of the Word, Angel Perez and Logan Tom, two modern warriors that you'd hate to meet in a dark alley.
Of course, like any Shannara series there are Elves. Unbeknownst to humans, the Elves have continued to exist completely hidden from the human world. However, what is about to unfold is so big that even the Elves aren't safe.
The Gypsy Morph is the final installation of the Genesis series. In this book, we find out who is up to the task and who isn't, those who survive and those who don't, and the sacrifices individuals are willing to make for their friends. The big showdown.
