They are outcasts. Hal, Stig, and the others - they are the boys the others want no part of. Skandians, as any reader of Ranger's Apprentice could tell you, are known for their size and strength. Not these boys. Yet that doesn't mean they don't have skills. And courage - which they will need every ounce of to do battle at sea against the other bands, the Wolves and the Sharks, in the ultimate race. The icy waters make for a treacherous playing field - especially when not everyone thinks of it as playing.

John Flanagan is an amazing writer
Would you consider the audio edition of The Hunters to be better than the print version?
There is not much that can compare with the weight of a book in your hand but the audio version of this book is very good!
What other book might you compare The Hunters to and why?
It's predecessors The Outcasts, and The Invaders, both wonderful books as well. Also the Ranger's Apprentice Books which are the companion series.
Have you listened to any of Richard Keating’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes I have and he has done a great job in all of the ones I have listened to.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The wise and the cunning.

Scandians love a good Saga and so did we.
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.

for years I've been listening to the Ranger's Apprentice. I've enjoyed John Flanagan's stories read by John Keating. Having always ignored Brotherband for some reason. It was a mistake! Hal and crew of the Herron have made me proud to have raised two boys that can take care of themselves.

Even though I knew that the protagonists were all going to come out alive, I was still on the edge of my seat. that ending was so epic.
