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, author of the international phenomenon Ranger's Apprentice, creates a new cast of characters to populate his world of Skandians and Araluens, a world millions of young readers and listeners around the world have come to know and admire. Full of seafaring adventures and epic battles, Book 1 of The Brotherband Chronicles is sure to thrill fans of Ranger's Apprentice while enticing a whole new generation just now discovering the books.

I wondered if the author would be able to separate this story from rangers apprentice and he did with no problem. having the same narrator made it hard to separate the stories but he is such a good narrator, he pulled it up off. starting book 2 now!

just as good as rangers apprentice

Maybe I it's the draw of the open ocean! Though both are different, this series rivals the ranger series... Keating has hit his stride with this series!

This was another great beginning of Mr. Flannigan‘s Wonderful world of youth coming of age. I love his attention to detail both of Tasks and characters. This is a perfect divergence from the excellent Rangers Apprentice.

I’m a fan

I never read the Ranger's Apprentice series, but watched it circulate heavily in my library. I chose to start with Brotherband Chronicles as I was browsing new releases in Audible for my commute (I hook my Kindle up) and decided it was time to see what the craze was about. I have to say the storytelling was great and I look forward to downloading the next one.

very well done
