Compelled step by step to actions whose consequences they could neither see nor prevent, Thomas Covenant and Linden Avery have fought for what they love in the magical reality known only as 'the Land.' Now they face their final crisis. Reunited after their separate struggles, they discover in each other their true power - and yet they cannot imagine how to stop the Worm of the World's End from unmaking Time. Nevertheless they must resist the ruin of all things, giving their last strength in the service of the world's continuance.

      Complicated audiobooks with long passages of explication are Scott Brick's forte, and he's clearly comfortable with the complex syntax and erudite vocabulary that are Donaldson's trademarks. This series, begun more than 30 years ago, sets out the life and times of Thomas Covenant, who is an unusual hero: He's a leper. Brick has plenty of opportunity to use the wide range of the voices he created in prior installments of this series as the finale brings together past themes and characters. This last book of the Thomas Covenant Chronicles begins with a summary of past events and relationships between the characters. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine

      The long-awaited 10th and concluding episode in Donaldson’s sprawling epic of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever (after Against All Things Ending) opens with Thomas gravely injured but cured of the malady of mind that had impeded his ability to save the Land. In the meantime, the Worm of the World’s End and She Who Must Not Be Named have both been roused, and “the last crisis of Earth” is at hand. By the novel’s end, Thomas, his wife, and her son will all have made extraordinary sacrifices to rebuild and redeem the Earth, following the collapse of the Arch of Time and the liberation of Lord Foul the Despiser. Although richly allegorical, the novel’s great strength is the warm humanity of its characters, who distinguish themselves by repeatedly confronting and overcoming their personal frailties. Donaldson’s fans will find this a fitting finale 36 years in the making. Agent: Howard Morhaim, Howard Morhaim Literary Agency.
