Written by John Flanagan
As part of the agreement between Scandia and Araluen, the Brotherband has been dispatched to patrol the coasts of Araluen. At first, it seems like pleasant duty, but quickly turns to danger as the the Araluen ranger, Gillan and Heron’s crew hurry to free Araluens from slave traders. On their return, Princess Cassandra is faced with assassins hired by an old enemy. Book Five of John Flanagan’s Brotherband series, Scorpion Mountain is a great continuation of the story. I have read all of the Ranger Series and now all of the Brotherband Series. Flanagan is a master at creating characters and story that is always interesting and meaningful. I highly recommend the entire set to anyone who enjoys adventure novels.
