Brotherband: The Invaders by John Flanagan

5 STARS
I really enjoy John's books. They are hard to put down
till your finshed. I got the book in the mail yesterday
and stayed up till 2:00 am.
This is book 2 and starts just a few days after book 1 ended
The Herons Brotherband are racing to find the Zavac
the pirates that had stolen the Andomal and brought
thier disgrace.
They are also fleeing from Erak the Oberjarl of Skandia's
who had given them orders to turn all their weapons and
even the Heron's ship. But they sneaked away and
plan to get the artifact back.
Oberjarl Erak sent his own ship and crew after the
boys and the pirates, but not to bring the boys back
but to help them get the Andomal back and fight the
pirates.
The Brotherband Heron had only 3 months training so
while they are waiting out the bad weather Thorn the
only adult with them is training them more to fight.
Getting them back in shape.
Hal is busy also trying to think of antway of giving them
an edge against the pirates. Hal is still the leader when
they are not training.
This has a lot of characters who I liked and it was full
of adventures. Now I have to wait for the next book.
If your a fan of Ranger apprentice this series you will
like to around the same time but different country
Skandia's. course a couple were set their and we are
familar with Oberjarl Erak and his boat Wolfwind.
