Only Steve Duncan and his friend Pitch know of the valley hidden behind the high cliffs of the remote Caribbean Azul Island. And only the two of them know of the beautiful, purebred horses that live there, under the watchful eye of the great red stallion, Flame. But when Pitch’s half-brother Tom learns of this lost paradise, he will stop at nothing to make it his own, even if he has to destroy it.

Another fantastic novel in The Black Stallion series by Walter Farley. We again leave the story of Alec and the Black for a while and visit Steve and Flame at the Island of Azul. Tom Steve’s half Brother turns out to be the perfect antagonist in this story.

He had his mother’s champion bloodlines and his father’s fiery spirit!

Well this ones cover description is not very long but the book is another show of horse loving excellence by Walter Farley. The Blood bay Colt is one of the black stallion’s sons, and he becomes a harness racer. However, this trip is as always not without trials after all any bloodline of the Black Stallion is going to have temper, fire, and flare. However, there also proves to be that underlying spirit of loyalty and love. Walter Farley truly captures the spirit of the Arabian horse and the spirit that has made me love that breed of horse for as long as I can remember.

Satan has won the Triple Crown, yet Alec still misses the Black, who’s living in Arabia with Sheikh Abu Ishak. Unexpectedly, Alec receives word that the sheikh has died and has left the Black to Alec. A race between the Black and Satan is inevitable, but unexpected events put the horses in the path of a raging forest fire. Suddenly, they are racing for their lives.

What can I say about this book that I have not already said about the others? This is a fantastic book while of course, by today’s standards, it is an eye archer about the Triple Crown winner but hey, it is a story and a fantastic story at that.

Once again, Walter Farley has made me smile and remember about my childhood and just why I loved these books so much. I sat down and read nearly all of them in a single week when I was growing up in the summer. Of course, I did not have anything else to do than either. If you love horses and love enthralling into a good story. I recommend you read this series.
