    About this audiobook

    Captain Declan Ross is a pirate who wants out. He is desperately searching for a treasure that will free him and his daughter from the piracy business forever. Meanwhile, his crew is starving, and his ship is falling apart in shark-infested waters. Desperate for supplies they sail into the territory of pirate Bartholomew Thorne, the black-hearted rogue who seeks to destroy anyone standing in the way of his finding the legendary treasure of Constantine. A sixteen-year-old awakens on an island, alone and brutally injured, with no memory of who he is. The rare diamond he clutches will bring him between the pirates and their treasure, but will it also be the key to his own identity? Wayne Thomas Batson weaves a spell-binding adventure filled with high-seas drama where battles rage, voices whisper from the tomb, a long-dormant volcano awakens, and a sea creature slithers in the deep as pirates race for the hidden treasure.

      this book was good but the narrator used pretty much the same voice the whole time
    • 4/5
      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.

      This was a tough one. I read Isle of Swords because my son read and liked it. I try to keep up with what my kids are reading so I read their sutff from time to time. I'm always up for a good pirate story and this one was part pirate part fantasy but I wrestled with this book some. It's was just hard to see where the plot of Isle of Swords was going. Or rather, you saw where it was going but it took some odd routes getting there. I almost feel like this book would have benefitted from being longer or cut into a short series. On the whole though the finish worked.
