The adventure continues in the Ranger's Apprentice companion trilogy!
Hal and the Herons have done the impossible. This group of outsiders has beaten out the strongest, most skilled young warriors in all of Skandia to win the Brotherband competition. But their celebration comes to an abrupt end when the Skandians' most sacred artifact, the Andomal, is stolen - and the Herons are to blame.
To find redemption they must track down the thief, Zavac, and recover the Andomal. But that means traversing stormy seas, surviving a bitter winter, and battling a group of deadly pirates willing to protect their prize at all costs. Even Brotherband training and the help of Skandia's greatest warrior may not be enough to ensure that Hal and his friends return home with the Andomal - or their lives.

"First battle for the young Brotherband"
What did you love best about The Invaders?The inventive side of the young boys.
Who was your favorite character and why?The old one armed man, as he is so talented.
Have you listened to any of John Keating’s other performances before? How does this one compare?Not bad, he did a good job. He is one of my favorite voice actors.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?Yeah when the young boy got hit by an arrow in the boat. It was very predictable that it would happen but it was also a scene that had to happen in one way or another to move the character development forwards.
Any additional comments?Good book. Listened to the whole thing in one shot. Love the inventive side of the characters. The story line is quite predictable it however still holds my attention.

"Don't buy! Not whole book."
What would have made The Invaders better?Don't buy this book when it is only 6 hrs 54 mins long. It is not the whole book. It ends at page 243 on a 400+ page book. I re-downloaded it to see if I was mistaken, but I am not. All of his other books are 12+ hours. The parts that were done were incredible. Will be a great book as soon as they get the second part to it.
What could John Flanagan have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?Get the rest of the BOOK
How did the narrator detract from the book?Good
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?Anger that it wasn't all included.

"Good story"
Great continuation to the brother band chronicles series. The narration was superb as usual. This is a great young adult adventure story. I recommend the first book in the series to start. But it's not necessary to have listened to the ranger apprentice books.

I am an avid reader (or listener). I love fantasy, fiction, sci-fi, historical fiction, and mystery. I stay clear of the romance genre. I truly appreciate stories that can bring families together such as Ranger's Apprentice (John Flanagan), Brotherband Chronicles (John Flanagan), and The Overland Chronicles (Suzanne Collins).

"Great Family Story!"
If you could sum up The Invaders in three words, what would they be?Exciting! Adventure! Humor!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Invaders?Any arguments between Wulf and Vulf.
What about John Keating’s performance did you like?He has a great accent that draws the reader in and contributes greatly to the creation of the characters.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?Definitely!
Any additional comments?Engrossed a family with the youngest child of 8 and the adults (whose age I dare not put up here). We sit around listening to it as a family and everyone is laughing and sitting on the edge of their seats. No one wants to turn it off and when my mother says "Time's Up!" Everyone regards her as the most evil creature in the world.
Note:
I am the oldest of 5 girls. This book, typically considered a "boys story" is great for all ages, all genders.
If you like this story, try John Flanagan's "Ranger's Apprentice" series.
Do not try listening to this without first listening to Book 1. This picks up where Book 1 left off.0 of 0 people found this review helpful -
"Entertainment continues unabated."
This series was very enjoyable. The narrator was exceptionally consistent in voice for the various characters, making the book come to life. I had purchased this for my boys (ages 10 - 22) to listen to on long trips. As they would play over the car stereo, I got interested and even my wife has been excited to share this adventure with our boys. Another success for John Flanagan.
