Erak's Ransom | John A. Flanagan
6 posts | 38 read | 4 to read
The international bestselling series with over 5 million copies sold in the U.S. alone! In the wake of Araluen's uneasy truce with the raiding Skandians comes word that the Skandian leader has been captured by a dangerous desert tribe. The Rangers - and Will - are sent to free him. But the desert is like nothing these warriors have seen before. Strangers in a strange land, they are brutalized by sandstorms, beaten by the unrelenting heat, tricked by one tribe that plays by its own rules, and surprisingly befriended by another. Like a desert mirage, nothing is as it seems. Yet one thing is constant: the bravery of the Rangers. "Bringing together many favorite characters for a grand adventure, this book delivers both excitement and quiet good times." - Booklist Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkiens Lord of the Rings, T.H. Whites The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolinis Eragon series, and George R. R. Martins Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire series.

A fine addition to the Ranger's Apprentice series. A "throwback" book in the middle of the series can be a little off putting, but I didn't mind since it has been a while since I stopped at book 6. This was a reintroduction to the characters. It was an exciting read with enough intrigue and action to keep the pages turning. Flanagan has created a fantastic world.

I rarely by new books. I've been searching for this one for close to a year. I read the first 6 a while back when I had Covid. I found 8 thru 12 but never 7. I broke down and bought it new so I could finish the series. Not complaining since I used a gift card to do it.

MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward AHH what a throw back! One of my brothers and I bonded over these books as kids. Great fun, glad you found your series completer. 📚 3y

Making a dent in my #MountTBRChallenge since I have no patients right now 😊 #4OutOf101Complete (I may have added a few to my #TBRList 😬) #BookNerd 📚💙

DivaDiane Haha! I thought that Patients was a misspelling at first! Then I saw the picture on the left and thought, “wha???” Then it all sorted itself out. 7y
julesG You're a radiology wizzard? Wish I could have my next MRI with you, you could tell me all about books while the machine rumbles around me. 😉 7y

'Would you trust him with your life, Halt?' Gilan interrupted and Halt looked up at him.

'Yes,' he said quietly. Gilan patted his shoulder once more.

'Then trust him with his own,' he said simply.

I have been hesitant about this one, because it is a "throwback" book, so it's out of order in the series. I really wish he would have written it before book 5. But I think it will still be a good read. #yalit
