Isle of Fireby Wayne Thomas Batson
Reviewed on Oct 4 2008
"A swashbuckling drama from the best-selling author of Isle of Swords and The Door Within Trilogy, Wayne Thomas Batson. A long line of the evilest men in history, The Merchants, have funded and planned the worst catastrophes in the world... it's time to for them to strike again. The legendary blood-thirsty pirate Bartholomew Thorne has convinced a group of technologically advanced heathen Vikings to help him burn London. It's up to Cat, struggling with his terrible past, and Declan Ross's crew of extremely entertaining pirates to stop them. Add a hurricane, Greek-fire, a particularly nasty group of Berserkers, a gullible king, and a strange, bald lad named Hopper, and you've got the best book since Isle of Swords! For anybody who likes bang-bang action and plenty of pirates. ARG!"

"Aiden Thomas is heart broken. His family has moved away from everything he’s ever known including his one and only friend Robby—to take care of a grandfather Aiden thinks belongs in an ‘Old Folks Home’... until he finds the scrolls in his grandfather’s basement. They change his life, and show him how to enter The Door Within. With Wayne Thomas Batson’s fast-paced, action packed, writing style and incredible characters, you’ll need to cancel school the next day... then sprint to the nearest bookstore and grab the next two books in this trilogy."

"Incredible book! Mr. Batson, with his simple, yet fast-paced writing style, knows how to spin an amazing tale! Whipped half to death, a teen wakes on an island with no memory of who he is and how he got there. A pouch he clutches holds a shock of hair, a small cross, and a rare green diamond pirates would kill for (and do). Declan Ross, captain of the Wallace, and later the Bruce (and what a battle it was!), wants to free himself and his somewhat annoying and headstrong daughter Anne from the piracy business forever. But when he crosses with the notorious, blood-thirsty pirate Bartholomew Thorne, things get ugly for him and a friendly order of monks... who hold the last (um... maybe not) map to the long lost treasure of Constantine located on the volcanic Isle of Swords. 115% percent, absolutely incredible!"

"The second in The Door Within Trilogy is even better than the first. Instead of Aiden as the main protagonist, Antoinette (Gwenne’s glimpse) is the heroine. In direct contrast to Aiden, at the beginning of this story Antoinette is looking for a way to enter the door within to help the kingdom of Alleble in their time of need. Paragor’s armies are amassing with the Wyrm Lord in their head. When she meets Aiden in an art class, Wayne Thomas Batson’ story is lifted out of the boundaries of mere words. With his trademark action packed, lightning-paced writing takes you to a place you won’t want to leave."

The Final Stormby Thomas Batson Wayne
Reviewed on Sep 14 2008
"The conclusion to Wayne Thomas Batson’s best-selling The Door Within trilogy does not disappoint. In record time Wayne has all three protagonists with trouble up to their helmets. Paragor has amassed superior force, technology, and ancient forces for the final assault on an unprepared Alleble. Not to mention King Eliam seems to have abandoned them all. You won’t want to miss Wayne’s trade-mark lightning-paced, action packed adventure."
