"If Harry Potter has given you a thirst for fantasy and you have not
discovered the magic of Terry Brooks, you are in for a treat."--Rocky
Mountain News
Brave explorers led by the last Druid, Walker Boh, traveled across
unknown seas in search of an elusive magic. But now it seems that Walker
and his team were lured there for sinister, unforeseen purposes. As the
crew aboard the airship Jerle Shannara is being attacked by evil forces,
the Druid's protégé, Bek Rowe, and his companions are being pursued by
the mysterious Ilse Witch. Meanwhile, Walker is alone, caught in a dark
maze beneath the ruined city of Castledown, stalked by a hungry, unseen
enemy. It is alive, but not human, coveting the magic of Druids, elves,
even the Ilse Witch. It hunts men for its own designs. It is Antrax: a
spirit that feeds off enchantment and traps the souls of men. And with
it, the fate of the Four Lands hangs in the balance.
"Antrax is great, and it confirms Terry's place at the head of the
fantasy world."--Philip Pullman, author of The Golden Compass and The
Amber Spyglass
"An engaging read . . . fast paced . . . Fine storytelling . . .
Antrax is a satisfying story."--Associated Press
