Book description
Will, you're going to a place that is unlike anywhere
you have ever seen.
You have been sent on a mission to rescue the Skandian leader who
has been captured by a dangerous desert tribe. Their land is beyond
all your experience so far. Violent sandstorms, warring tribes and
danger stalk you at every turn.
Amongst your group is the princess, whose life you must protect. Can
you keep her safe and reach the hostage before time runs out?
John Flanagan began his working life in advertising before moving
to freelance writing and script editing. He has written TV jingles and
comedy-drama for television, and is one of Australia's more prolific
TV writers.
John wrote the first book in The Ranger's Apprentice series
to encourage his twelve-year-old son to enjoy reading. Michael was a
small boy, and all his friends were bigger and stronger that he was.
John wanted to show him that reading was fun, and heroes weren't
necessarily big and muscular. Now in his mid-twenties, Michael is six
feet tall, broad-shouldered and powerful - but he still loves The
Ranger's Apprentice.
John lives in the beachside Sydney suburb of Manly.
