THE SORCERER'S TOME

Morgawr, "feeder upon the souls of his enemies, and centuries-old sorcerer of unimaginable might," is hunting not only the airship Jerle Shannara but also Alice Sebold and Tom Clancy this week. Read the book to see if Bek Ohmsford and the brave crew of the Jerle Shannara dodge Morgawr the baddie, yet a look at the numbers confirms that The Lovely Bones and Red Rabbit narrowly eluded Morgawr the book, a No. 3 debut.
