About this ebook
A young lad awakens on an island, alone and brutally injured, with no memory of his past.
Captain Declan Ross searched for riches that will free him and his headstrong daughter, Anne, from the piracy business forever . . . Bartholomew Thorne, an infamously ruthless pirate, seeks to destroy Ross and any who stand in his way of the legendary treasure hidden by a mysterious order of monks. With these intriguing characters and many more, Wayne Thomas Batson weaves a spell-binding adventure filled with high-seas drama where battles rage, storms brew, a long-dormant volcano awakens, and a sea creature slithers in the deep as pirates race for a cliff-top fortress.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is amazing!!! It grabbed me from the start and refused to let go!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This 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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Isle 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!!!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This 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
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Even 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.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The 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.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Christian 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.
