The exiting sequel to Isle of Swords, Isle of Fire picks up the spell-binding adventure where readers left off. Captain Ross and his crew have become pirate hunters for the British Government and Cat captains his own ship. As they search high and low for their nemesis, they face many trials: The ruthless weaponry of the Viking's Rain of Fire, greedy kings hoarding the monk's treasure, a mercilessly evil Merchant, and the troublesome pirate Bartholomew Thorn. The only certainty for our heroes on the ever tossing seas is that they will find more actions-packed adventures after every storm! Recommended for ages 10 to 14.

It only gets better than the last book, Isle of Swords. Cat, who lost his memory in the last book, is slowly regaining memories- memories that could haunt him for the rest of his life and change his life forever. Anne Ross, the spunky, courageous, and redheaded daughter of Declan Ross, grows in her faith in God and also has her dreams come true in the most unlikely way. Declan and Commodore Brandon Blake embark on an adventure (separated for the majority of the book) that will tie up loose ends and inspire all. Let's not forget Hopper. A quick-thinking, resourceful young man who captures the hearts of readers. And finally, Bartholomew Thorne and a new villain, the Merchant. Thorne is dead, or is he? The reader also finds out how dangerous the Merchant really is as the story builds up to a huge battle that will determine all. With a beautiful beginning, great building up of the story with the development of many characters, and the epic climax involving fire rain, I highly recommend this book.
