Product Description
Brace yourself for a thrilling high-seas adventure and dare to set sail for the Isle of Fire. "A great explosion rocked the crowded harbor. Flaming debris screamed into the sky and then rained down into the burning water below. The ferocious blaze engulfed ship after ship expanding the circle of destruction in mere heartbeats. The fire rain had been unleashed."
As Cat's memory returns, he realizes that he has lived two very different lives: One as the son of the ruthless Bartholomew Thorne; the other as the recipient of friendship and kindness from Declan Ross and the crew of the Robert Bruce. Now Cat must choose whether to return to the ways of his notorious father and join the evil Merchant, or defy the Merchant and risk his life to save his friends.
The best-selling Isle of Swords adventure continues in Isle of Fire as ancient mariners rise from legend and cut an all-too-real swath of destruction across the Atlantic. The newly formed Wolf Fleet scours the Caribbean, hunting the pirates they once called comrades. And in the pitiless winds of a monstrous hurricane, whole fleets will be blasted apart and devoured.

A Great Finish to this Piratey Adventure! December 1, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
"Isle of Fire and the predecessor Isle of Swords give Disney's pirate franchise a run for its money! MR. Batson has done it again with fast pacing and plenty of excitement. He continues to throw curve balls at his readers by coming up with a brand new way for his odious villian Captain Thorne to exact his revenge on the British. Can anyone say Vikings? For more you'll have to get the book and read...but trust me, you won't be disappointed!"--James Somers, author of "The Chronicles of Soone."
A Thrilling Adventure October 15, 2008 Once more Captain Declan Ross sails in search of adventure. But unknown to him, his archenemy Bartholomew Thorne is still alive and plotting his murderous revenge. Again Mr. Batson weaves a pirate tale full of twists and turns, treachery and guilt. Once you pick up "Isle of Fire" you will have a hard time putting it down. I recommend this book to any teenager whether they like to read or not. But make sure to read the "Isle of Swords" first.

Meanwhile, the evil "Merchant" sets in motion his plan of destruction of all that Cat holds dear. With the help of his friends and the lovely Anne, can he stop the Merchant from destroying those he loves?
Wayne Thomas Batson sets sail again in this thrilling sequel to the Isle of Swords. With daring deeds and great sacrifice the characters show how love in all it's power can transform those who chose to embrace it or let revenge warp them forever. This story is not for the faint of heart Younger readers might want to wait for a fairer wind.
Better than the first! October 14, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The "Isle of Fire" is even better the first book. After reading the "Isle of swords" I was thinking, ok, now what new invention or work of nature is he going to introduce. He completely blew my expectations away! I thought it was interesting about the Merchant. For more action packed books: next stop, Wayne Batson.
Fantastic October 14, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
(This is Courtney)
This book is an adventure story about pirates. Bartholomew Thorne was thought to be dead, but like any good villain, he's back, with the deadly help of the Raukar vikings and the evil Merchant! It's up to Declan Ross and friends to save London and the entire ocean from certain demise. Will England be turned into an Isle of Fire?
Isle of Fire is an action-packed tale with plot twists around every corner. The characters are very vivid and you often find yourself forgetting that they are fictional. I normally do not like books of this genre, but Isle of Fire pulled me right in. I stayed up all night to finish it. I would recommend this book to everyone seventh grade and older because some of the violent images had me grossed out and are probably too much for younger kids. Overall, a fantastic book! You should probably read the first book in the series, Isle of Swords, before you read this one.
