My second book is titled The Brotherband Chronicles Book 3: The Hunters, by John Flanagan. He is the author of the previous books in the
Brotherband series, and ten other books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series. Mr.
Flanagan lives in Sydney, Australia where he was a television advertising
executive. He began writing stories for his son, Michael, in order to get him
to read more. The theme of the book is: If you have a big goal or if you have
to make something right, don’t give up, keep trying to right the wrong that you
did. Relate to Hal and the Herons and do what you think needs to be done. This
book continues the adventures of the Heron Brotherband as they seek to recover
the Andomal, a sacred glass ball stolen by the pirate Zavac. In this book, the
Brotherband pursues Zavac to the pirate stronghold Raguza.
Having chased Zavac across the ocean, the young warrior,
Hal, leads the Herons up the River Dan to retrieve the Andomal and bring it
back to Hallasholm. They face one
challenge after another, as they are accused of murder, put in jail, nearly
drowned in a whitewater gorge, and attacked by pirates. After the heroes bluff
their way into Raguza, the book climaxes with a duel between Zavac’s ship the Raven
and the Heron.
“’I think the party’s starting,’ he said cheerfully.
The red-and-blue flag was sliding down the flagstaff as Hal
looked. The duel had begun” (Flanagan 352).
