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.

The chase leads down mighty rivers, terrifying rapids, to the lawless fortress of Ragusa. If Hal is to succeed, he will need to go beyond his brotherband training. He will need to challenge the pirate one-on-one, knowing only one of them will survive.

Publisher's Summary
In Skandia, there is only one way to become a warrior. Boys are chosen for teams called brotherbands and must endure three months of gruelling training in seamanship, weapons and battle tactics. It's brotherband against brotherband, fighting it out in a series of challenges. There can be only one winner. When Hal Mikkelson finds himself the unwilling leader of a brotherband made up of outcasts, he must step up to the challenge. The Heron brotherband might not have the strength and numbers of the other two teams, but with inventiveness, ingenuity and courage on their side, they might just surprise everyone.

Could've used a younger narraror
I've read this book physically and decided to listen to it now, the narrator could've been Hal's age and then set a deeper tone for the older characters rather than the other way around but overall not a bad listen, definently recommend especially if you like the rangers series.

An excellent adventure
Hal and his Heron Brotherband are trainee Skandian warriors, together they learn to work as a team to win the right to be the honour guard for the Andomal, a precious treasure that is venerated by the Skandians. It is an excellent adventure story for young readers. John Keating gives a pretty good performance of the book. John Flanagan is the author of the highly popular series Ranger's Apprentice. The Brotherband Chronicles is the follow on series focusing mostly on Skandians and not Araluen as in Ranger' s Apprentice.

Good story, not sure about the performance.
Having listened to The Rangers Apprentice series read buy William Zappa I had high expectations. I was used to John Keating around the half way point but I never quite got into it.
little things like pronouncing the Oberjarls name "Ah-rak" as opposed to "Eh-rak" in the way i got used to in Zappa's RA readings.
it's mostly a preference thing I guess. for me, good story, slightly distracting performance.

The narration left me cold.
The children and I were huge fans of The Ranger's Apprentice series. We loved William Zappa's lively narration. Unfortunately, this narrator bored me to tears. He gives no indication that he appreciated the sentence structure or story line by his tone and pace. Yawn! That will teach me to forget to listen to a sample.....

How to train a dragon minus the dragon
What made the experience of listening to The Outcasts the most enjoyable?
This story is a feel good adventure for the underdog. You really come to like the characters and although ultimately predictable, it's a great tale.
What did you like best about this story?
As a mum, I liked the lessons the boys learn along the way and the way they solve each problem that arises. I also liked the frequent humor that peppers the story.
What about John Keating’s performance did you like?
While some of the accents are a bit questionable, John maintains the characters consistently. He has an easy listening voice and takes you into the story so you forget it is being read to you.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Corny as it may be, it was the moment Hal makes his mum proud!
Any additional comments?
If you liked " the Ranger's Apprentice" or "How to train your Dragon" you will also like this book.

Distracted
John Flanagan once again gives us another thrilling story, however the narrative can be distracting at times. John Keating does a good job giving each character their individuality however he reads with so much attention to punctuation that it becomes distracting and at times stops were there is no punctuation. Because of this the story is lost a little.

Brilliant
Another excellent series by John Flanagan
And in response to a MrsVee on the second book, I completely disagree with your opinion on John Keating. He is the only good reader I’ve found that uses good range of voices and doesn’t sound mono tonal the whole time. He takes on the character, I think he’s brilliant. Halt took on a whole new level when I listened to the audiobooks, and I’ve READ the RA series at the very least 15 times.
I digress
John Flanagan might be my favourite Author of all time.! There’s a lot more it than just a ‘teen series’

Mr keating MUST GO!
This Australian Author has grabbed a whole generation of youth, and their parents with his Rangers Apprentice books, and now with the Brotherband series ... BUT ... this reader, Keating, is a disaster. He reading has a Sing songey sound to it; his misplaced emphases make my jaws ache, and as for his pronunciations, which are like ——— ,(sorry, but I feel like swearing). The PARTICULAR word that has me boiling is “buoy”! Put ‘pronounce buoy’ in your google or safari or whatever and you will get “boy” as in “toy” ... not booie, as in gooie ... and that word comes up in the story many many times

A great story.
An exciting and interesting story. It was the best book I've ever read and listened to. With a cliffhanger like that, im garenteed to get the next one.

Book is great but narration is boring
The narration isn’t it for me. There’s too much up and down of tone and no real character distinctions. I feel like I can’t focus on the audio nor relax and let it flow. Absolutely love the book, have read it several times, and the series itself, but yeah this narration ain’t it.
