The Rangeras Apprentice series has taken readers by storm, captivating them with the adventures of Will, apprentice to the secretive Ranger Halt.
The Ruins Of Gorlan
They have always scared him in the past—the Rangers, with their dark cloaksand shadowy ways. The villagers believe the Rangers practice magic that makes them invisible to ordinary people. And now 15-year-old Will, always small for his age, has been chosen as a Ranger’s apprentice. What he doesn’t yet realize is that the Rangers are the protectors of the kingdom. Highly trained in the skills of battle and surveillance, they fight the battles before the battles reach the people. And as Will is about to learn, there is a large battle brewing. The exiled Morgarath, Lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night, is gathering his forces for an attack on the kingdom.
The Burning Bridge
On a special mission for the rangers, Will and his friend Horace, an apprentice knight, travel to a neighboring village and discover the unsettling truth: all the villagers have either been slain or captured. Could it be that Morgarath has finally devised a plan to bring his legions over the supposedly insurmountable pass? If so, the king’s army is in imminent danger of being crushed in a fierce ambush. And Will and Horace are the only ones who can save them.
The Icebound Land
Kidnapped after the fierce battle with Lord Morgarath, Will and Evanlyn are bound for Skandia as captives aboard a fearsome wolfship. Halt has sworn to rescue Will, and he will do anything to keep his promise–even defy his King. Expelled from the Rangers he has served so loyally, Halt is joined by Will’s friend Horace as he travels toward Skandia. On their way, they are challenged constantly by freelance knights–but Horace knows a thing or two about combat. Soon he begins to attract the attention of knights and warlords for miles around with his uncanny skill. Even so, will they be in time to rescue Will from a horrific life of slavery?
These proceedings of the 2018 XIII International Symposium on
Spermatology focus on comparative biology, and encourages
discussion and the exchange of ideas. The aim of this Symposium was
to provide a unique opportunity and bring together scientists from
a wide spectrum of research fields - human, domestic animals and
other mammals, vertebrates, insects, and plants. The underlying
focus is on the function of the spermatozoon - a common feature for
sexual reproduction, but extremely varied. By exploring the
variability, a better understanding of male reproductive functions
can develop. These proceedings address the mechanisms of physiology
and pathophysiology, rather than diagnosis and treatment. The
symposium featured keynote lectures by invited speakers, followed
by presentations on specific aspects of the general topic of the
session. Experimental studies are given priority over clinical
studies of patient populations. The proceedings comprise both
keynote speakers' texts and selected free communications. Posters
were considered for publication in the proceedings, and the volume
includes exhibited materials on the work of prominent
spermatologists, highlighting their important past achievements in
the field.
The Outcasts is the first book in the Brotherband series, from the
author of the internationally bestselling Ranger's Apprentice.
There is only one way to become a warrior. Boys are chosen for
teams called Brotherbands and must endure months of gruelling
battles in the treacherous sea. Hal finds himself the unwilling
leader of a band of outcasts, the boys that no one wants. They are
small and wiry but what they lack in size, they make up with skill
and courage. Now they must battle against the other bands in the
ultimate race where there can only be one winner. The icy waters
make the sea a dangerous playing field. Especially when - for some
- this is anything but a game . . . Perfect for fans of J.R.R.
Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, T.H. White's The Sword in the Stone,
Christopher Paolini's Eragon series and Rick Riordan's Percy
Jackson series.

From John Flanagan, author of the worldwide bestselling Ranger's
Apprentice, comes a brand-new chapter in the adventures of young
Skandians who form a different kind of family - a brotherband. When
the Brotherband crew are caught in a massive storm at sea, they're
blown far off course and wash up on the shores of a land so far
west that Hal can't recognize it from any of his maps. Eerily, the
locals are nowhere in sight, yet the Herons have a creeping feeling
they are being watched. Suddenly the silence is broken when a
massive, marauding bear appears, advancing on two children. The
crew springs into action and rescues the children from the bear's
clutches, which earns them the gratitude and friendship of the
local Mawagansett tribe, who finally reveal themselves. But the
peace is short-lived. The Ghostfaces, a ruthless, warlike tribe who
shave their heads and paint their faces white, are on the warpath
once more. It's been ten years since they raided the Mawagansett
village, but they're coming back to pillage and reap destruction.
As the enemy approaches, the Herons gear up to help their new
friends repel an invasion. In this sixth book in the action-packed
Brotherband Chronicles, the Herons find themselves in unfamiliar
lands and prepare for battle with a ruthless, unknown enemy.

Strangers in a strange land, they are brutalized by sandstorms,

its own rules, and surprisingly befriended by another. Like a
desert mirage, nothing is as it seems. Yet one thing is constant:
the bravery of the Rangers. Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's
