Review - The Hunters

The Hunters by John Flanagan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  I'm glad the sub-plot that carried through this and the previous book has been resolved and am looking forward to the new adventures of the Heron's.  It's a book I would easily recommend, especially for reluctant teen boys.  There's adventure, swordplay, and a great story of misfits finding their niche in the world, and successfully at that.

Plot (from Goodreads.com): Hal and his brotherband crew are hot on the trail of the pirate Zavac and they have one thing only on their minds: Stopping the bloodthirsty thief before he can do more damage. Of course, they also know Zavac has the Andomal, the priceless Skandian artifact stolen when the brotherband let down their guard. 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.


Now I'm reading NERDS: The Villain Virus by Michael Buckley.
