Publisher's summary

From the author of the mega-selling Ranger's Apprentice!

Hal and his fellow Herons have returned home to Skandia after defeating the pirate Captain Zavac and reclaiming Skandia's most prized artifact, the Andomal. With their honor restored, the Herons turn to a new mission: tracking down an old rival turned bitter enemy.

Tursgud - leader of the Shark Brotherband and Hal's constant opponent - has turned from a bullying youth into a pirate and slave trader. After Tursgud captures 12 Araluen villagers to sell as slaves, the Heron crew sails into action...with the help of one of Araluen's finest Rangers!

In this fourth audiobook in the Brotherband Chronicles, a new battle unfolds as old rivalries are renewed, peace treaties are put to the test, and the action builds to a pulse-pounding finale. Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, T.H. White's The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolini's Eragon series, and George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Entertaining for a drive.

I'm in the midst of driving lots and wanted an easy series to occupy myself. These books are fun enough, though I think that they lack the depth of character and plot of the Apprentice Series.

More disconcertingly, the more I read Flanagan's works, the more that I suspect he holds an old fashioned opinion about women and foreigners (non-Euro).

Jury's out

I’d like a slightly better explanation of how the sailing works.

The twins were extremely amusing, and I liked the barn jokes favorite series I’ve read.

Great book, great series.

I really enjoy all of Mr. Flanigan's books. You can't go wrong with them. Ranger's Apprentice or Brotherband.

I love this series!

I love Brotherband books. One of my 8th graders told me about the series. I bought the first one (paperback) and by chapter 3 I got the book on audible. The reader has a great voice and inflection. He really helps the characters come alive.
