Publisher's summary
What really happened at Hackham Heath that made Halt a hero to the entire Kingdom? This is the prequel Ranger's Apprentice fans have been waiting for.
When the former Baron Morgarath escaped to avoid punishment for treason, an uneasy peace fell on Araluen. But the Rangers know Morgarath will be planning his next move, and there are rumours he has recruited an army of savage, inhuman creatures. Newly crowned King Duncan must prepare for war.
Halt prepares for a seemingly impossible task - climbing the deadly cliffs of the Mountains of Rain and Night and venturing deep into enemy territory to spy on Morgarath. Meanwhile, Crowley must ensure the Queen's safety as she undertakes her own perilous journey for the sake of her unborn child.
Morgarath's Wargals seem unstoppable against Duncan's depleted army. The winner of this war could be decided by one wrong move. At the Battle of Hackham Heath, the fate of a Kingdom will be decided.
The origin story of how Halt came to be Araluen's most famous Ranger - and how war will decide the future of the next generation - will thrill Ranger's Apprentice fans and new listeners alike.

It was very entertaining
The story was well done, not rushed or pressured. It was like John had an entire story behind what happened in the early year that just so happened to answer the questions people have had, and not the other way around
Still getting used the new narrator, just so used William Zappa.
Overall, worth a listen to for all you Ranger's Apprentice fans

nicely done
we love John's stories in our house,amazing. this was written in a different style to his rangers apprentice series. hard to top those. Piers Wehner performance was great, but not a patch on William Zappa. different accents , pronunciation and emotion all of which detracted from the story. but not a problem for those who have time to sit and read. hope they don't destroy this fantastic legacy when the movie is made for rangers apprentice.,( eg how to Train your Dragon- amazing books vs butchered dream works production).wow got off subject.

Great prequel
I strongly believe the prequels are actually better than the original series, I love Crowley and Holts friendship and their bond with the other rangers. It’s awesome to understand their backstories and their relationships with other characters like Duncan and baron Arald.

music
The story was marred with the awful music between chapters. Its totally unnecessary and I prefer silence. The story and performance were great but the music dismal.
