Publisher's Summary:
The international best-selling Ranger's Apprentice series turns up the tension in John Flanagan's latest epic of battles and bravery. Halt's Peril ups the ante and doesnt guarantee the survival of all the heroes!
The renegade outlaw group known as the Outsiders may have been chased from Clonmel, but not before killing Halt's only brother. Now Rangers Halt and Will, along with the young warrior Horace, are in pursuit. The Outsiders have done an effective job of dividing the kingdom into factions and are looking to overtake Araluen. It will take every bit of skill and cunning for the Rangers to survive. Some may not be so lucky.
Members Reviews:
A good read.
With much of the action in the previous book this book is a race to catch to catch the antagonist. While there is no big battles they are intense scenes filled with action and danger. This book is a little slower than the others but still well worth the read. Flanagan continues to produce stories which you are not quite sure what happened the first time through. There is even a point in which he brings back a little bit of the fantasy feeling that was in the first book .
Good, but slower then the other books in the series
"Halt's Peril" is Book 9 in the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan. I've read the previous 8 books and absolutely love this series. The characters are believable, the books are well written, and there are a lot of unexpected plot twists. While I enjoyed "Halt's Peril," it just wasn't as good as the previous books. The pace was just slower then the others. I won't ruin the plot, but this continues where Book 8 left off: Halt, Horace and Will are chasing Tennyson, the leader of the cult known as the "Outsiders." As the title suggests, something happens to Halt and the others must see to it that he is saved. A big part of this book involved camping and horse riding scenes. While still a good read, the action is less intense and it takes longer for things to develop. Overall I'd highly recommend the entire series to anyone, just don't expect this one to be as good as the others.
Fast moving but we'll detailed
I thoroughly enjoy John Flanagan. His work is fast paced and seems to sweep you along with Will, Halt, and Horace.
This series is excellent for those who love the middle ages, dungeons and dragons, and just people who like heroes who stand up to the bad guys instead of wimps who wonder why things are like they are and if they should get involved. These guys step up and make a difference.
These are some of the best adventure books I have ever read
These are some of the best adventure books I have ever read. The great thing is they could have been. Not futuristic so you know it is not possible rather very probable.
One of the best yet
I'm a loyal Ranger's Apprentice fan. I devoured books 1-4, then waited for book 5 to come out. Oh, that wait! I ravenously finished book 5. After book 6, the wait time between books started getting shorter and shorter, which made me love the series even more.
But enough of my love! Let's get to the point.
For those unfamiliar to the series, Will is a King's Ranger in the medieval Kingdom of Araluen. Halt's also a Ranger, but he was Will's mentor.
