Kurzbeschreibung
Will, there's something you should know. Something I should have told you long ago...There are stories about the Rangers that have never been heard before and it's time for you to hear them; stories about your parents and how you came to be an orphan; about how a Ranger's life was saved; and, about what happens next for you and your loyal friends. Are you ready to hear the truth?
Über den Autor
John Flanagan began his working life in advertising before moving to freelance writing and script editing. He has written TV jingles and comedy-drama for television, and is one of Australia's more prolific TV writers. John wrote the first book in The Ranger's Apprentice series to encourage his twelve-year-old son to enjoy reading. Michael was a small boy, and all his friends were bigger and stronger that he was. John wanted to show him that reading was fun, and heroes weren't necessarily big and muscular. Now in his mid-twenties, Michael is six feet tall, broad-shouldered and powerful - but he still loves The Ranger's Apprentice. John lives in the beachside Sydney suburb of Manly.

Tales of the Rangers (spoilers)
15. November 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
John Flanagan spent ten books crafting the stories of the Rangers Will and Halt, young knight Horace, and their many friends and allies. And in "Ranger's Apprentice: The Lost Stories," he explores some of the stories hinted at but never really explored before -- stories that illuminate the characters' pasts, small-scale adventures, and a few romantic climaxes as well.
The story is framed by a little story that takes place in the present day. Archaeologist Giles McFarlane and his assistants are excavating the remains of Castle Redmont, when one of them finds the ruins of a Ranger's cabin -- and a parchment manuscript filled with long-lost tales.
Among the stories are tales of Will Treaty and Halt. Will must write a flowery speech while battling shipwreckers, track down his abducted dog Ebony, and struggles with the inevitable when Tug is badly wounded during a mission. Additionally, he must unravel a conspiracy of murder and treachery in the days leading up to Horace and Evanlyn's wedding -- with dire consequences if he fails.
Additionally, Gilan gets a couple of stories. First, a bunch of thieves take Jenny hostage on the very day that she's expecting Gilan for a romantic dinner (awww!). And during Will's captivity in Skandia, he investigates an equally malevolent ally of Morgarath's named Foldar (brother of File?) who is busy establishing a foothold in a corrupt barony.
And there are stories that illuminate the characters' pasts. "Death of a Hero" explores how Halt met Will's father twenty-ish years ago, and how both his parents died. And "The Hibernian" studies Halt's entry into the Ranger Corps and his first meeting with Crowley, during a dark period for the Rangers.
If the Ranger's Apprentice series was an elaborate mural, "The Lost Stories" is John Flanagan painting in the little details and missed spots. And these aren't just the stories Flanagan wanted to tell -- a number of them seem to be in response to requests from or points made by various fans, such as people wanting to know what Gilan was doing during Halt's exile.
And you can tell how much he loves these characters, from the primary characters to the minor ones like Jenny or Crowley -- even the animals are given stories that flesh them out further, and allow them moments to shine. The only flaw is a notable lack of Horace -- even Alyss gets more time than he does.
Flanagan's prose is lean, action-packed and full of fun cameos by beloved characters (Erak, Gilan, Shigeru, Crowley). He can flip effortlessly between gritty knife-swinging action, bittersweetness (the story about Tug), and comedy that seems to flow effortlessly ("For years, people will say, Remember that speech Will gave that nobody could understand?").
"Ranger's Apprentice: The Lost Stories" fills in some intriguing gaps in the Ranger's Apprentice universe, and caps off many of the characters' arcs. Bad place to start for newbies, but an excellent addition to the series.

THE LOST STORIES answers a lot of questions from the Ranger's Aprentince series. Gaps were filled in that were not answered in the series of books that I wondered about. I am glad this book was included.
