Publisher Description
The bestselling epic continues!
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.
The epic series from Ranger's Apprentice author John Flanagan continues, delivering pulse-pounding adventure and fun.

"The Hunters is the final book in the Brotherband Chronicles trilogy written by the author of the Ranger's Apprentice series, John Flanagan. In this finale, the reader follows Hal and the Herons as they reach the end of their long journey in search of the one thing that will clear their names, the one thing that made them pariahs within the Skandian world: the most prized possession of the Skandians, the Andomal. This is a very satisfying conclusion to the trilogy because John Flanagan offers all the usual action that is present in his fantastical series, but he offers more engaging characters and their changes throughout the story. If you've have read the first two books of this series than this one is a must."

Quotes

“The third volume of the Brotherband Chronicles, the spin-off series from John Flanagan’s fan favorite Ranger’s Apprentice fantasies, presses forward in full throttle...[Full of]...excitement.”
— Barnes & Noble editorial review -
“[This] novel provides a satisfying conclusion to the three-book cycle that opened with The Outcasts. [A] vigorous offshoot of the Ranger’s Apprentice series.”
— Booklist -
Picking up the story soon after events in The Invaders (2012), this engaging sequel opens aboard the Heron as Hal, his fellow Skandians, and their friend Lydia sail up a river in search of Zavac, the ruthless pirate who has stolen a precious relic from their village. Welcome humor lessens the dramatic tension at times, and the shipmates’ individuality and comradeship make their adventures more meaningful. [This] novel provides a satisfying conclusion to the three-book cycle that opened with The Outcasts (2011). [A] vigorous offshoot of the Ranger’s Apprentice series.—Booklist — Booklist

" Has to be my favorite brotherband just because they introduce Lydia. The conflict between some of the guys and her is hysterical. I was pretty disappointed with the final confrontation though. But at least it was something after all those moments where they ALMOST HAD THEM. "
— Bailey, 1/29/2014 -
" This is a great series for boys as it is about a crew on a ship who are chasing a pirate. It contains lots of adventures. They picked up a girl in the last book who helps them through this adventure. Thorn, an old Skandian icon, is the best character as he interacts with the young crew, the pirates, and the magistrates. "

" I have to agree with my buddy James.Iit's even better than rangers apprentice it makes me so emotional when I am reading. I hate turgsurd. "
— Elias, 1/16/2014 -
" A good conclusion to this series. The characterization is not quite as good as in the others. The character of Lydia in partiicluar seems one-dimensional. "
— Roberta, 1/2/2014 -
" With the long explanations during the build up, the resolution was too quick. "

" Excellent series. If you liked Rangers Apprentice, you will love this! "
— Sheila, 11/21/2013 -
" I've said it before. I'll say it again. John Flanagan rules at this style of novel for young people. Classy writing, great characters, top plotting. All class. Readers should be aware that this is much more blood-thirsty than the Rangers Apprentice series. Recommended! "
— Miffy, 11/19/2013 -
" It is a book that always makes you want to keep reading. "
— Raul, 7/4/2013 -
" I am totally in love with this series! I enjoy John Flanagan's writing very much, for me to like a book involving sailing is saying a lot about the writing. He makes it very exciting and just fun to read. I can't wait for the next book "

" Loved the first one. Liked the second one. Stayed up till freakin 5:30 in the morning to finish this one, and was either cracking up or freaking out the entire time. Mostly cracking up. John Flanagan is a genius at hilarious dialogue. Genius. "
— Sara, 4/13/2013 -
" Book 3 in the Brotherband Chronicles does not disappoint as Hal and his crew continue to chase down pirate Zavac in order to retrieve the Andomal. Great characters, fun to read. This and Ranger's Apprentice continue to be some of my all-time favorite series. "
— Anne, 4/1/2013 -
" Loved it, nice conclusion to the series. Just wish that there would have been more mention later on in the story of Hal being injured in the beginning, but still just as good as the first two. Keep 'em coming, John Flanagan! "

About John Flanagan
John A. Flanagan grew up in Sydney, Australia hoping to be a writer. It wasn’t until he wrote a highly uncomplimentary poem about a senior executive at the agency he worked, however, that his talent was revealed. It turned out one of the company directors agreed with John’s assessment of the executive, and happily agreed to train John in copywriting. After writing advertising copy for the next two decades, John teamed with an old friend to develop a television sitcom, Hey Dad!, which went on to air for eight years. John began writing the Ranger’s Apprentice series as a way to encourage his son, Michael, to enjoy reading. He currently lives in the suburb of Manly, Australia, with his wife.
