Isle of Swords

Written by Wayne Thomas Batson

Narrated by Rudy Sanda

A young lad awakens on an island, alone and brutally injured, with no memory of his past.

Captain Declan Ross searched for riches that will free him and his headstrong daughter, Anne, from the piracy business forever . . . Bartholomew Thorne, an infamously ruthless pirate, seeks to destroy Ross and any who stand in his way of the legendary treasure hidden by a mysterious order of monks.  With these intriguing characters and many more, Wayne Thomas Batson weaves a spell-binding adventure filled with high-seas drama where battles rage, storms brew, a long-dormant volcano awakens, and a sea creature slithers in the deep as pirates race for a cliff-top fortress.

Christian YA fantasy. Good pirates, bad pirates, hunting for hidden treasure, kidnapping, injured boy meets girl needing adventure. Great fun. Won Mom’s Prize for Fiction.

Isle of Swords is in my small opinion MUCH better then the `Pirates of the Caribbean'. Now before you comment that I'm SO Wrong let me explain.The story is just as exciting and funny as the movies.With Red Eye the sword lover, captain Ross the Scottish pirate, Stede the quartermaster, Midge the carpenter with bad breath, Nubby the one handed cook and his spoon, and Jacques St. Pierre the crazy Frenchman. Who would not LOVE the characters of this book?The plot is good and the story has as many twist and turns as a roller coaster.Cat the main character is found on the shore of a small cove. Who is he? Not even he knows. And who was the sick man that whipped him near to death with the cat of nine tales? Why?The villain is one of the best ever and with the bleeding sick, who will dare to keep him form the treasure that he wants so bad?5 Stars!!!!!

This is an excellent book and it definitely ranks among my top five. It may be my favorite.The story is fabulous. The book is stuffed with humor, unique and endearing characters, oceans of peril, and the whole thing is saturated in mystery. Secrets shroud the tale. However, the author meters out the answers to those secrets carefully, just enough at a time to satisfy the reader and make him/her come back for more. I have never read books that do this so well. I highly, highly recommend Isle of Swords.-whisper

Even if you think you're not a pirate book kind of person you really should read this book. It starts off good and holds your attention and ends fantastic. I can't wait to start the second book and can only hope there will be more.

The Isle of Swords was a real favorite in our family's "read-aloud" time. Our middle schooler didn't want the book to be put down. The adults enjoyed it too.
