Linden's defiant act of love--resurrecting Thomas Covenant--awakens the Worm of the World's End. If they have any chance to save the Land, it will come from unlikely sources--including the mysterious boy Jeremiah, Linden's adopted son, whose secrets are only beginning to come to light.

Donaldson continues to speak to my heart and spirit, and to amaze me. The Thomas Covenant books are some of the most clear-eyed and accurate descriptions of the the human condition I have read. It seems silly to review book # 9 out of 10, so I won't, but I will say this. The wisest man I have known, my late Bishop Dwain Houser (may he rest in peace and may his memory be eternal!) frequently taught that one of the implications of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is this: one can never know for certain, one can never be entirely sure what is best to do, but one must act anyway. I resisted this teaching and argued with him, but the older I become the more I understand how much wiser than I he was. Certainly my life as a human and particularly as a Christian human makes sense only in light of that idea. Anyway, the Covenant books are all about that, and Against all things ending brings this truth out more clearly than the previous volumes.
Donaldson is amazing; his books are a gift; my life is better because of him.
