Product Description

Review

'His fans should embrace it as eagerly as they have the SWORD OF SHANNARA' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'By far the best of Terry Brooks' many wonderful novels ... I couldn't put it down JOHN SAUL


Product Description

RUNNING WITH THE DEMON: One Fourth of July weekend, two men come to Hopewell, Illinois. One is a demon, a dark servant of the Void, who will feed off the anger and frustration of the community to achieve a terrible goal. Whilst families picnic and fireworks explode only John Ross, a Knight of the Word, can change the fate of humanity and save the soul of fourteen-year-old Nest Freemark. A KNIGHT OF THE WORD: The years spent saving mankind from the horrors of the Void have taken their toll on John Ross. He's lost his spirit, his belief, and now, it seems his magic. When Nest is once again drawn into the mythic world of the Word and the Void she must warn John to take up his staff of magic once again, or the battle may be lost forever. ANGEL FIRE EAST: For twenty five years, Ross has single-handedly battled against the legion of demons of the Void. But now he learns of a gypsy morph, whose power and wild magics will be an invaluable weapon against the Void - but the Void knows this too and will not rest until the creature has been corrupted - or destroyed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, a must read for fantasy fiction addicts., 23 May 2006
By C. Burgwin "incurable book addict" (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is usual to find my head immersed in a David Eddings or Terry Goodkind novel, not emerging until the very last word has been fully digested. However, the seemingly never ending well of novels had finally been exhausted and I was reluctantly forced to explore other authors. I happened upon this book by accident and I can truely say I am extremely grateful for that.
This is one of the most outstanding writers I have had the pleasure of reading, the way in which each character is bought to life is amazing and the curious mix of modern day life and a sprinkling of magic is genius. If you are anything like me and have difficulty in been unfaithful to your favourite authors, take a deep breath, reach into your purse and take the plunge. I guarantee you won't regret it. This book has everything, well thought out intertwining plots, imagination grabbing characters and at no time do you feel that words have been used to 'fill the gaps'. Fast paced and incredibly entertaining.

4.0 out of 5 stars A new twist away from the Shannara world, 16 Nov 2003
I read this book having finished the voyage of Jerle Shannara and with suitably lowered expecations i started the Word and the Void. Wow, what can i say, this is an immersive and deep series that exists in an almost completely different genre than his previous books. Rather than being set in fantasy worlds such as Landover or the land of the shannara books it is set in a small town in America. The characters are brilliant (except for Pick) especially Jonathon Ross who is independant and charismatic in a similiar vein to Walker Boh in the Shannara books and its good to see the complete evolution of him as a character throughout the series plus the notion of him being driven by dreams is a brilliant and subtle twist. If you have read any of Brooks' other books i would suggest setting aside your normal idea of Brooks writing as this is a completely different style. This series is much darker than previous series and much less fight driven, which isn't to say there is no action, the fight with Findo Gasks demons being a perfect example its just there is more time spent with the subtle manouvering and manipulation of demons. i would really recommend this book to anyone whether they have read Brooks books before and at the low price for a whole series there really is no excuse not to delve into another fantastic Brooks world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably Brooks' best, 1 Feb 2006
By bookaholic - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I like most of the writing of Terry Brooks. This book is along the lines of the other - good fighting evil with some magic thrown in. Yet it manages to avoid becoming more of the same old, same old. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

The main character in this omnibus is the Knight of the Word, John Ross. His duty in life is to fight the demons of the Void, while at the same time protecting regular humans as much as possible. Both Knights and demons are humans who have been changed by magic.

In the first book he meets up with Nest Freemark, the last of a long line of female park protectors. Through their magic they have tried to keep magic in balance. This has assisted the sylvan Pick, who is the caretaker of the Sinnissippi park in Hopewell. John Ross is on the tail of a demon who seems more than a little interested in Nest and he has to figure out how to deal with this demon before July 4th.

In book two we once again meet up with Nest and John. Nest is now five years older and at college. John has lost his faith in the Word and his abilities as a knight, so Nest is sent to rescue him before the Lady has to deal with his failure. Along the way more demons arrive and John has to face some unpleasant truths about himself.

In the third book John has found the Gypsy Moth and is heading for Nest to get help. But the demons want the Gypsy Moth as well, and they have discovered his destination. The Void has sent its best demon. Not only does Nest have to help John, but ghosts from the past turn up again. Bennet from book one turns up, this time with a child. The ending of the book was surprising and interesting.
