The renegade outlaw group known as the Outsiders may have been chased from Clonmel, but not before killing Halt's only brother. Now Rangers Halt and Will, along with the young warrior Horace, are in pursuit. The Outsiders have done an effective job of dividing the kingdom into factions and are looking to overtake Araluen. It will take every bit of skill and cunning for the Rangers to survive. Some may not be so lucky.

"Purely great"
lovely book. And I have the next one hehe and it's great. better than this one
"excellent"
Flanagan continues the saga with twists and turns that keep you guessing. I enjoy the series immensely and anxiously await the next installment.
"Loved it"
This book picks right back up where the last on left off. It is a great book. I really love that the narrator is the same in all the books. Can't wait till the next one. Great Book
"If you like knights, rangers and adventure"
If you like knights, rangers and adventure this book is for you. Sword fights, archery and chasing villians across the country side, it is all here.
I love the character dynamics in this book and the whole series. The relationship between Will, Halt's apprentice and Halt and Will's best friend Horace a knight, is something that I enjoy reading about again and again.
It is great fun following their adventures from country to country in a world that is very like our own in medevil times.
"Good as ever"
I've always loved the Ranger's Apprentice series, and this book was no exception. I laughed out loud, and shed some tears. It was a very enjoyable experience.
I did want to listen to it all at once, so it was hard for me to turn it off when I had to go to work.
"Great Story...poor narration."
Flanagan continues doing a great job at bringing the Rangers story to life, however he might consider getting a better narrator. Keating lacks the skill in making each character distinctive. All the voices sound the same and the pitch of his voice never changes. Halt should be a low, level voice of reason and confidence, but Keating makes him sound like a questioning naive youngster. I was very disappointed when I first started listening to the story but hung in there because I enjoy Flanagan's excellent work.
"A little predictible, but read well."
This book as alot of large series (More than 3 books), is slightly predictable in that is is to pin point a certain action. But the reader did an excellent job in keeping it exciting and enjoyable.
