About this listen

Will is small for his age, but agile and energetic. All his life, he has dreamed of becoming a great knight like the father he never knew, so he is devastated when he is rejected as an apprentice to Castle Redmont's Battleschool. Instead he is apprenticed to Halt, the mysterious Ranger whose uncanny ability to move unseen is thought to be the result of black magic. Reluctantly, Will learns to use a Ranger's secret weapons: a bow and arrow, a mottled cloak and a stubborn little pony. It may not be the sword and battlehorse he longs for, but when Will and Halt set out on a desperate mission to prevent the assassination of the King, Will finds that a Ranger's weapons are not so useless after all....

I have loved this book since I was in primary school. Since then I've started listening to audio books in my car and I often struggle with the voices of the readers and have to force myself to tolerate them. This was not the case with this book. Great reader and great story.

I read all of these novels when I was a young adult but to experience them again many years later while driving to work or cleaning one’s house allows you to escape reality and dive into the fantasy world that John Flanagan has created. William Zappa is absolutely the best narrator for this series! His voice is one of a storyteller that keeps you engaged and enthralled for hours on end.

A tale of courage, determination and adventure

William Zappa provides an excellent performance with a smooth narrating voice and interesting accents for the characters.
The story by John Flanagan is one of my favourites and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in medieval fantasy.
A brilliant audiobook.
