John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice and Brotherband adventure series have sold more than eight million copies worldwide. His books are available in more than one hundred countries, are regularly on the New York Times bestseller lists, and have had multiple award shortlistings and wins in Australia and overseas. John, a former television and advertising writer, lives with his wife in a Sydney beachside suburb.

The tenth book in the impressive Rangers Apprentice series and one that is a standalone title. It's cleverly written, the characters outstanding and our young heroes are coming into their own guided by our old friend Halt who takes matters in hand. As usual there is peril, some wonderful classic jibes as well as the demonstration of working together as they each come to the fore in their own way. Add to this some top notch combat, cracking prose and a wonderful upbeat end to the title and it's made this a real pleasure from start to finish. Cracking fun. -- Tatty http://tattystreasurechest.blogspot.com/ 20111006
