More About This Book

Overview

Months have passed since Horace departed for the eastern nation of Nihon-Ja on a vital mission. Having received no communication from him, his friends fear the worst. Unwilling to wait a second longer, Alyss, Evanlyn, and Will leave their homeland behind and venture into an exotic land in search of their missing friend.

When they finally catch up with him, they find Horace entangled in a military coup. Determined to protect the imperial throne, Will and his band of Araluens must piece together and train a force in order to fend off the master Senji warriors intent on overthrowing the emperor.

Suspense and pulse-pounding action abound in this final adventure in the worldwide phenomenon that is Ranger's Apprentice.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

John Flanagan began the Ranger's Apprentice as a series of short stories, designed only to whet his son's appetite for reading. It was only ten years later, in 2004, that he published the first installment as a book. Now, ten episodes later, children in more than a dozen countries are grateful that the Australian author took his adventure fantasy more public. In The Emperor of Niho Ja, Will, Alyss, and Evanlyn venture thru pirate-infested seas into the unknown dangers of Nihon-Ja to save their beloved old friend. The concluding installment of a series that has won repeated praise for its arresting suspense and its down-to-earth hero.

Meet the Author

John Flanagan
John Flanagan

John Flanagan grew up in Sydney, Australia hoping to be a writer. It wasn’t until he wrote a highly uncomplimentary poem about a senior executive at the agency he worked, however, that his talent was revealed. It turned out one of the company directors agreed with John’s assessment of the executive, and happily agreed to train John in copywriting.

After writing advertising copy for the next two decades, John teamed with an old friend to develop a television sitcom, Hey Dad!, which went on to air for eight years.

John began writing Ranger’s Apprentice for his son, Michael, ten years ago, and is still hard at work on the series. He currently lives in the suburb of Manly, Australia, with his wife. In addition to their son, they have two grown daughters and four grandsons.

    I emailed John a while back. He mentioned this was not going to be the last book. He still has a couple more that he's working on which will be coming out.

    Outstanding from Beginning to the Ending

    This is one of the best of the Ranger's Apprentice Series. Oh, I hope it isn't the last one. After reading 10 of these books, the characters feel like my relatives...ones I like to visit as opposed to those I'd prefer not to see often. Horace has gotten himself into a mess as usual. He was sent by King Duncan to find out some helpful information from the Emperor of Nihon-Ja. He even becomes friends with the Emperor. Just as Horace is about to return to Araluen, the Emperor is attacked by a man who wants to murder him and become the new emperor and certainly not a nice one. Horace finds himself right in the middle of mess. He has to stay and protect his friend the Emperor and help him defeat his enemy. Horace has been missing and Halt, Will, Alyss, and Evanlyn..aka...Princess Cassandra are sent to find him. They find him in the middle of what could become a war. The plot is slower than Flanagan's last two books but it has to be. The characters are stuck in one place due to the weather. The young ones are more mature and experienced in this book. Halt offers his wise advice but the young ones especially Will come up with some clever ways to make things work. I must admit that I did mess the usual bantering between Halt, Will, and Horace. There is some in the book of course but not as much. Their bantering back and forth makes these books so much fun to read. The ending is good. The last paragraph in the last chapter just made me laugh!! It made the book well worth reading. If you are a fan, read this book. If you aren't a fan, you will start reading the whole series. I do so hope it isn't the last time I will read about my friends, but if it is Mr. Flanagan I must say it has been a journey well worth reading!

    Absolutely LOVED it! A MUST read!!! Excellent!

    John Flanagan fails to amaze me. He is a very talented author. There are very few series I would read to the very end if they had more than five books. Until now, the only author series I've read that have been longer than five books are Harry Potter and the first twelve books of The Secrets of Droon. My point? For me to read a series for this long and be willing to read more, the author has to be pretty darn good.

    The Emperor of Nihon-Ja was great! I absolutely loved the drama between Evalyn and Alyss! It was really awesome when they had to work together without anyone else's supervision. This book focused a little bit on everyone, which I liked and didn't like at the same time. I miss the story having more of an emphasis on Will like in the fifth or sixth books. At the same time though, I liked how the story had a more even focus on everyone. Will is so blind when it comes to girls; it makes me laugh. But that's part of his character.

    As you can imagine, there's a big battle at the end of the book. One of the best parts about the battle is that fact that Will leads it. He's the commander. Yes, he has help and stuff but he's the kind of like the master mind behind it. In previous battles, we've seen how Rangers usually stand back and pull the strings during a battle. Instead of Halt doing this, Will did. He was like the leader of the group at that point, protecting the Emperor. He's like a mini Halt. I love it!

    The writing was, as usual, spectacular. Flanagan can really write a battle scene! He's done a great job staying true to the characters all this time. The banter between them all is as enjoyable as ever and is always one of my favorite elements of the book. I really do hope this isn't the last book in the series.

    Very good book! I have read it :)

    This book has already comd upin Denmark and i have read it but this isn't the last battle i can say. It's just the last battle in Nihon-Ya if it should be the last something? But i can say it's top recommended and it's relly good, and i think personally he should keep go on writing just send my questions if you want. :)

    Good job, Flanagan :)

    good as ever

    It is always sad to read the last book in a series. Bit it was good adventure. this book did not let down any. Horace is in fareast learn of different sword fighting style and becomes good friend and admire of The Emperor. When he is overtaken his throne by arisaka and his lies. Horace decides to flee with some of the emperor followers when a messenger comes letting theemperor know. Evelyn hears that Horace is missing and she comes to find will and halt who are in another country to help mediate peace treaty between two countries. So Will,Holt,Princess evelyn,alysa and others go to find out what happened to horace and stay to help fight for the emperor and the common people who are loyal. Its fun book. I enjoyed it and fans of the series will like it too
