Narrative Supposing Books Scorpion Mountain (Brotherband Chronicles #5)
When the worlds of Ranger's Apprentice and Brotherband cross over, action and adventure are guaranteed!
King Duncan of Araluen has an urgent mission for Hal and the Heron Brotherband. One assassination attempt on Princess Cassandra was foiled. But the killers won’t be satisfied until they have fulfilled their honour-bound duty.
The Herons, along with Ranger Gilan, set off for Arrida. There they must track the cult of killers across the desert, and infiltrate the cult’s mountain lair to find their leader – and stop him.
But the giant assassin isn’t the only threat they will face. There is a seaside battle looming, and the Herons are called upon to help an old friend of Araluen in his fight.
Trapped in an unfamiliar land, their forces split between searing hot land and treacherous seas, can the Herons complete their mission – before the killers find their royal target?

Hal, his Brotherband crew, and the Ranger Gilan have a new mission - to hunt down the assassins who have been hired to kill the Araluen princess, Cassandra. This may prove to be much harder than they originally supposed, but working together, and with Hal's creative and quick thinking mind, they are destined to overcome what troubles lie ahead of them.Very fun adventure, and a great addition to the series. I really enjoyed it.Yes, this is a re-read via audiobook. And yes, I still think it's awesome. Maybe not top notch for writing style or character development, but with these, I simply don't care. I love a book that is pure plot fun. :) I think this is my favorite Brotherband Chronicles (even though I love all of them) because I simply adore the cross-over with Gilan from Ranger's Apprentice joining the crew and meeting characters from previous Ranger's Apprentice books. :)
Loved it!
Flanagan is VERY good at this. He is a clever storyteller, great at creating and maintaining characters, and even though the combined series' of Rangers and Brotherband is getting extensive, none of this feels stale.There are some significant shifts in the way characters are speaking to and about each other - particularly with reference to the relationship between Lydia and Thorn. What has previously been antagonistic, and it times sexist on Thorn's part, has turned into an exploration of the
This was a great book! The author really pulls you in with the adventure. Hal is so ingenious, his desert rider invention is totally awesome. I love the battle scenes, they really put a picture right in your head. It kind of stinks at the end when Gilan has to go back to Araluen; I really hope there are more bookw that combine characters from both the Brotherband Chronicles and the Ranger's Apprentice series. Of course, John Flanagan had to end with another cliffhanger....
The Brotherband is back for another adventure, this time Princess Cassandra of Araluen is being hunted by a cult of assassins hired by the brother of the tuareg brigand she killed way back in Erak's Ransom. Since Will and Halt are off in Hibernia, the King sends Gilan, Hal, Thorn, and the Boys (and Lydia) off to Arrida (aka Africa) to find a way to stop the stream of assassins. Like its predecessors, Scorpion Mountain is a quick and enjoyable read but I struggled between giving it 3 or 4 stars
