Product Description

Product Description

After years as a Ranger's apprentice, Will is now the protector of his first fief. Not long into his service, everything that can go wrong does: Keren, a renegade knight, has taken over Castle Macindaw, a strategic gateway to the North-poisoning the royal family in the process-and is holding Will's friend Alyss captive. The situation grows direr when Will uncovers Keren's secret alliance with the Scotti, who have plans to plunder Araluen. Time is of the essence, and Will must recruit a motley crew to rescue Alyss and reclaim Castle Macindaw-before the Scotti can make it their own.

This New York Times bestselling series maintains its breathless pace in this newest installment.

About the Author

John 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 Ranger's Apprentice for his son, Michael, ten years ago, and is still hard at work on the series. He currently lives in the suburb of Manly, Australia, with his wife. In addition to their son, they have two grown daughters and four grandsons.

4.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, Mar 19 2009
THE SIEGE OF MACINDAW, the sixth installment in John Flanagan's best-selling RANGER'S APPRENTICE series, picks up right where THE SORCERER OF THE NORTH left off, with Alyss imprisoned in Macindaw castle at the mercy of Keren the usurper.

Will is soon united with enemy-turned-best-friend Horace, deep in Malcolm the Healer's mysterious forest. Much as it pains the two to be so close to Macindaw and yet so helpless, the two know that they do not stand a chance against Keren and his soldiers. Worst of all, Will has no idea what the traitor Keren might be up to.

The unexpected arrival of a small Skandian force, led by Gundar Hardstriker, is the ultimate blessing. While the Skandians find themselves stranded in Araluen quite by accident, Will greets them heartily and quickly turns them into his own small army, led by none other than Horace, the Oakleaf Knight.

With intelligence covertly provided by Alyss, Will and Horace learn of Keren's plans to turn Macindaw over to the Scotti tribes of Picta. All the odds are against them, but Will and Horace are not about to give up. The ranger and warrior complement each other perfectly, and the two hope that Will's agility and wit paired with Horace's strength and fighting experience will be enough to overcome Keren's forces and the fast-approaching Scotti army. Trying to take Macindaw with only thirty men is a daunting task, a feat never before achieved in Araluen history.

In other words, the perfect challenge.

It is easy to see why RANGER'S APPRENTICE has such a following with the preteen crowd. THE SIEGE OF MACINDAW is a fantasy adventure with strong characters and a fast-paced plot. Flanagan's characters have heart and his heroes are almost too virtuous to be true. While an adult audience might dismiss Will and Horace as one-dimensional, their shining courage and unwavering sense of morality will appeal to younger readers.

Araluen is an epic fantasy world reminiscent of Tamora Pierce's Tortall with a pinch of C. S. Lewis' Narnia thrown in for good measure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, Oct 12 2009
By Vanessa M. Dow "Vanessa D" (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Description: Hiding out in the woods is not a bad position for a ranger like Will to be in. It's what he's trained for, after all. But, with the evil "lord" Keren in control of castle of Macindaw, and holding Will's friend, Alyss, captive, Will finds himself wishing he could get in out of the cold. Some real troops might be helpful, too. Fortunately, help is on the way in the form of yet another old friend...

My thoughts: Fantastic! I've been a fan of this series ever since picking up The Ruins of Gorlan on the suggestion of a friend. It's action-packed without being overly gory, and plot driven without ignoring character development. Joe and I both enjoy it, though it's geared towards younger teen boys. If I ever have a son, I will be picking these books up for my home library.

Now, about Macindaw specifically... it's the second half of the two part story that started in Sorcerer of the North, and it has a much more satisfying, non-cliffhangery ending, which I appreciated. SotN almost killed me. I found the dialogue a little stilted here and there, but it didn't bother Joe at all, so I wonder if it's just me.

Overall, great story and I'm looking forward to the next one. Book 7 (and maybe 8?) are already available if you live in Australia, but the rest of us will have to wait until Spring 2010.
