The next book in the Ranger's Apprentice series was recently released in America, and I recently finished reading it. "Erak's Ransom" takes us back in time a bit from books 5 and 6 to Will's last big mission as an apprentice.
In "Erak's Ransom", the Skandian leader has been captured by a group of desert dwellers. Will, his teacher Halt, friend Horace, Gilan (another Ranger) and the Princess must go and pay the ransom to free Erak. But, as soon as they strike a deal for the ransom, the adventure begins. Can Will live up to the title of Ranger he is about to receive, or will he fail when his friends need him most? Find out by reading this book!
This was one of the better "Ranger's Apprentice" books, and that's saying something, because I've really liked all of them. I love the interplay between the characters, and the friendships that develop. Also, the concept and mystique of the Rangers is just plain great.
Books 8 and 9 have already been released and published in author John Flanagan's native Australia. I anxiously await there publication here. I'm so glad I got into this series...it's just a fun, adventurous read.
