Publisher's summary

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.

Great Story, Wonderful Imagery, OK Reading Style

We as a family love the Ranger books. The story is superb, and if you listen carefully you will pick out wonderful historical insights. I was the narration were better. Don't me wrong, the reading is fluid and well done, but to my ear, sometimes it is hard to hear the switch between characters. The narrator uses similar inflaction and tone for many characters which flattens the story a bit. Still, this book in audible form is highly recommended.

Wanting more!

Yet another great Flanagan book! As usual, with a great cliffhanger and a demanding desire to read the next book in the Brotherband series!

An excellent listen this writer-narrator team rock

What did you like best about this story?

The development of each character and the adding of a strong female character really excited me. John Flanagan lets you grow with his characters and as they develop you do too. Great emotional connection.

What does John Keating bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The development of voices really adds to each characters persona. Keating really does an excellent job of character development.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definately.

Any additional comments?

A good read for all ages, very thrilling and moving with great narration.

Great book

The end of the book was fantastic but it took me a couple hours to get into it I thought we were over the training phase in the last work.

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.
