Publisher's summary

Follow the Brotherband in a battle against an Iberian pirate raiding ship in the latest exciting tale in the Brotherband Chronicles from John Flanagan, author of the internationally bestselling Ranger's Apprentice series!

The Herons are home in Skandia—preparing to celebrate two of their own and working on sea trials in the newly constructed Heron. But during a short excursion, they encounter an Iberian pirate ship raiding the coast of Sonderland, so Hal and his crew take action.

Though the Herons quickly triumph, the Iberians voice their fury at the Herons, vowing to take revenge. And soon they do—raiding the harbor and stealing or destroying as many ships as they can. Though there is little proof the Iberians are behind it, the Herons take their ship, the only one that has survived the raid—and race after their enemy in hot pursuit. They will take down these pirates and get justice—no matter what.

Climb aboard with the Herons in The Stern Chase, the exciting ninth installment of the Brotherband Chronicles!

So good but lacking

I have read every Flanagan book, including the rangers apprentice series and what is it with not having a saga at the end. This was a good book and John Keating the narrator is my favorite but the story had some loopholes. During the battle with the Iberian pirates, I was not able to visualize it as well as in some of the other books and I am a sailing instructor.

Excellent Addition

Was another great addition to the stories of the Brotherband, John added more depth to his characters and this adventure was another great story. Can't wait for the next addition!

Pretty good

I am a bit of a huge John Flanagan fan to say the least, I began reading rangers apprentice nearly 8 years ago and with that being said i am slightly disappointed by this book as well as the escape from falise royal ranger book. I feel like his writing style is done developing and thus the stories are coming out a little too taciturn and placid but with that being said I still thoroughly enjoy reading about my favorite characters and if you do too you will enjoy this book.
