As they came in for a landing at Spacedock 79, they could see thousands of lights of various neon colors.   The lights wrapped around the dock structure like a little boy keeping an animal from escaping his outstretched arms.   Numerous spacecraft sat on the large dark gray pads.   They were trimmed in the yellow that meant caution.   Several people walked along the edges where the lights and pads met.

Welcome into the world created by John Flanagan in The Ruins of Gorlan .   The first of ten novels in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, not including the three prequels,  The Ruins of Gorlan vividly immerses readers into a world filled with adventure, fantasy, courage, and mystery.   And, after many years of hearing the Mr. recommending it to anyone and everyone who would listen, I finally got around to reading it.  Believe me, it did not disappoint.   In fact, the second read through with my nephew is proving even more enjoyable.   We’ve decided he is clearly Will and I've told him he can call me Halt.  Although he objects because, “You’re a girl!"    But someone must force him to think things through, have accurate answers and above all be honest!  It might as well be Halt if it can’t be Aunt E.   Anyway, the  entire Wolfe Stew household is excited to see it on the big screen! That’s right folks.   You heard it here (if you haven’t already heard it elsewhere).
