Loved this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! submitted by bobsmith on June 22, 2011, 12:59pm First, I would like to say that I loved it. In this book they travel to Nihon-Ja (Japan) and get involved in a civil war. Does anyone else realize that these books are actually a kind of historical fiction? For example, the Araluens are the English and the Skandians are Vikings! This book could be used in a military tactics class. The innovative strategies of the Rangers never cease to amaze me. I think this book was the best in the series so far.

Great submitted by 0liviap0pp on June 24, 2011, 8:48am The final battle rises as the reader goes to Japan with the rangers.
In Japanese, Japan is actually Nihon-go.

DOES THIS HAVE TO END! submitted by Nathan Ng on July 9, 2011, 11:11am this series was so good! i cant believe it ended

great book submitted by readingking on July 17, 2011, 10:30am the book was really good. great ending

Something Fishy... submitted by tree64 on August 5, 2011, 6:28am This was a great book; probably my favorite in the series, but if you know anything about Japanese culture, you could tell that John Flanagan modeled the Nihon-Jan after the Japanese. The swords used were the same, the languages were too. He even made the Japanese have an accent when they spoke in Will's language. I think this is what made the book seem odd, or almost even funny to me.
Either way, this was a great book, and I would recommend it to everyone, especially preteens or teens.

Adventure/ Running submitted by eagles on August 30, 2013, 7:45pm Is it just me or are they running from the people almost the whole book?

Different submitted by azaitzeff on August 25, 2018, 4:12pm Has a different feel from the rest of them. It seems like the series is running out of steam
