Product Description
Book Description
Brace yourself for a thrilling high-seas adventure and dare to set sail for the Isle of Fire.
A great explosion rocked the crowded harbor. Flaming debris screamed into the sky and then rained down into the burning water below. The ferocious blaze engulfed ship after ship expanding the circle of destruction in mere heartbeats. The fire rain had been unleashed.
As Cats memory returns, he realizes that he has lived two very different lives: One as the son of the ruthless Bartholomew Thorne; the other as the recipient of friendship and kindness from Declan Ross and the crew of the Robert Bruce. Now Cat must choose whether to return to the ways of his notorious father and join the evil Merchant, or defy the Merchant and risk his life to save his friends.
The best-selling Isle of Swords adventure continues in Isle of Fire as ancient mariners rise from legend and cut an all-too-real swath of destruction across the Atlantic. The newly formed Wolf Fleet scours the Caribbean, hunting the pirates they once called comrades. And in the pitiless winds of a monstrous hurricane, whole fleets will be blasted apart and devoured.

Edward Teach, I Know Who You Are!, Aug 31 2008
By S. Stevenson "FictionAddict" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Isle of Fire (Hardcover)
I couldn't wait to get my hands on the sequel to ISLE OF SWORDS. And when I saw that ISLE OF FIRE had finally come into my local bookstore, I grabbed it and prepared a day to devour it. And devour it I did. ISLE OF FIRE was definitely a good read, great even, but I still think that I liked ISLE OF SWORDS better. Here's why:1. There's no big treasure this time. In SWORDS, there was a huge treasure that the main characters were hunting after. And that definitely held an air of mystery that pervaded throughout the whole book.
2. There are no "exotic" creatures this time. In SWORDS, there was an underwater monster, and there were very dangerous things on the actual Isle of Swords.
That's not to say that FIRE didn't have some great moments. The idea of the evil Merchant definitely adds a very ominous tone to the entire book. And the whole Vikings angle makes for an interesting twist. To me it seems like Batson was trying to make the scope so much bigger than last time, and he definitely succeeds. The stakes are a lot higher than they were before, and a couple of moments had me feeling panicked over what would happen.
The writing here is definitely pretty tight. The only sections I really didn't like were with the new character named Hopper. Some of the scenes with him definitely just came across cheesy. Plot-wise, I really liked just about everything. There's one plot twist near the end that I saw coming from right up front, but other than that, Batson weaves everything together expertly.
I for one, look eagerly to the next project from Wayne Thomas Batson.

Vikings Vs. Pirates, Dec 8 2009
By Goldarrow - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Isle of Fire (Paperback)
With most of the characters from Isle of Swords, you will be thrown back to the sea.Mr. Batson is the only author that I know who can put pirates and Vikings in one book. What's that? You have to read it to find out.
Over all Wayne Tomas Batson did a great job making the sequel fit with the first book Isle of Swords. Yet so much different that you have no clue what will happen next!
This book is so good, I have to say it is yet another great book by Mr. batson.

The Batman does it again!, Jan 13 2009
By R. A. Villafane - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Isle of Fire (Hardcover)
Action and intricate story line from the very beginning. Wayne Batson has a great way of weaving things together and keeping things mysterious at the same time. He also shows the providence of God in people's lives and how a life has more meaning in relation to God. Grand pirate attacks and battle designs are fascinating as well. LOVED IT.
