Lawrence and Chester Stoning are twins, but like Jacob and Esau of old they have little else in common. Lawrence is a realist, fascinated by the study of science, mathematics, and history, while Chester longs for the knightly adventures of chivalrous times past - hard-fought battles, gold-filled caves, damsels in distress.
When Chester’s impetuosity engages the unlikely pair as bodyguards to a Spaniard and his beautiful ward, Pacarina, the twins quickly realize that the 19th century calls for a chivalry of its own. Protecting Pacarina’s secret leads all of them into the steaming jungles and dizzying mountains of Peru, a forbidding territory made all the more dangerous by Lawrence and Chester’s strivings against each other.
Can the twins learn to trust God and work together before it’s too late? Or will they fall prey to the mysterious schemes of Pacarina’s enemy - an enemy they know nothing about?
The Men of Grit Christian Fiction Series is a clean, exciting adventure series for young adults of all ages. There is no foul language or sensuality, just good, old-fashioned excitement following the tradition of authors such as Douglas Bond, G.A. Henty, R.M. Ballantyne, Jules Verne, James Fenimore Cooper, and more. The Men of Grit Christian Fiction series is loved by boys and girls around the world.

Rating: 5 stars (because I love this book even after reading it four times)Ages: 12/13 and up (for mild violence and some description of deaths)
This book is amazing, for more reasons than one. This is John Horn at his best.
Brothers at Arms: Treasure and Treachery in the Amazon is my favorite fictional novel. It combines action, adventure, multi-dimensional (and undercover) villains, suspense, and even the smallest bit of clean romance.
The twins, Law and Chester Stoning, are so fun. They've become two of my favorite characters. Law's studious and charming (in his own sort of way); Chester is gallant and brave and has a bit of impetuosity in him. Working together, they beat seemingly impossible odds - with Lawrence's knack for planning escapes and Chester's mastery of gun and dagger. I love it - that Law plans, and Chester does the actual fighting part. (But Law gets better.) And I love how they're relationship changes over the course of the story - from being brothers who don't get along to friends and true comrades. I love the unique way Chester talks and the brothers' dialogue with each other throughout the book. And the Eyesore? That's just fantastic!
The plot and writing are awesome. I really enjoyed the setting changes - from England to the steaming jungles of Peru. John has chosen unique settings for each of his books, and they're big parts of the story itself. It makes the series a lot of fun.
It's funny to think that after having read this three times already, the last time I read it (being time #4), I still noticed something I hadn't before. I think sometimes I read too fast, so I miss fun details. Like the scene in the cave when the villain (I won't mention a name, just so I don't spoil anything) tosses the heroine, Pacarina, to the side, and Law catches her and hugs her. I mean, I hadn't even known that was there! It was a really sweet moment that I fortunately caught the fourth time around.
(Let this be a lesson to me to read slower and enjoy the detailing in all stories!) ;)
And the epilogue? It's such a great part of the book! I am really very happy that John included that! :)
The thing about the Men of Grit series, but particularly Brothers at Arms, that I love so much is the adventure - it's fast-paced, heart-pounding, and just plain fun to read. And Horn always adds a bit of humor. (Which is also incredibly fun.)
Law and Chester learn lessons in this book. They change and grow. They face trials, but they overcome them, all the while being chivalrous and brave. This book is what the world needs more of, honestly. It's exciting and funny and has a bunch of action scenes...And though Brothers at Arms doesn't have a message like Secret of the Lost Settlement does, it's God-honoring.
In the end, all of my rambling can't to do this incredible book justice. It will most likely forever hold a favorites spot on my ever-growing shelf of books read. My advice? By this book. Read it. Marvel at the amazing-ness. Then go get the next two books. I bet you won't regret it.
(I sure haven't! Buying The Boy Colonel was one of the best book-choices I have ever made. Ever.) ;)

Brothers at Arms Treasure Treachery in the Men of Grit Christian Fiction Book 1 edition by John J Horn Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Downloaded a sample but didn't care for the writing style
This is a great book.
A very good, well written story. Clean and with a Christian (Protestant) message. I would like to find more like it.
Found the style of writing off-putting at first, then got into the story and adjusted to writing style. Cute little book
The story is well written but a little slow. I got a little bored 3/4 of the way through; though I really enjoyed the main characters. I cannot say I would recommend this book to anyone. Though I would be willing to try another from this same author.
This book will keep you eagerly turning the pages to the very end! It is a God-honoring, very skillfully woven story portraying the common struggles between brothers, and the duty of men to fight for right to the bitter end. The twins must learn to compliment each other's strengths and weaknesses to vanquish the foe.
I also appreciate the fact that it is not an 'adventurous romance novel', but it actually focuses on courage and chivalry.
The characters are ones that would be profitable for your sons (and daughters) to emulate.
Overall, this is a wholesome, witty, and masterfully written adventure for the whole family to enjoy!
Thanks, John J. Horn!
I will first start out with what I LOVE about this book!
It has no romance, no bad words, no brutal killing, no sappy moments that you want to skip over next time go round, and it is safe for my younger siblings! As the oldest sister, I try not to read anything that isn't safe for like, say a ten year old. I'm not going to say that it is safe for all ages, because some kids freak out over death. It's hard to say what age range this book fits. I'm 16, and absolutely loved it! I read it in one hour, and have read it like ten times within the 9 months I've owned it! And my 12 year old sister loves it! I also LOVE Pacarina. She's so cool! Most times I won't read a book if it stars a girl, because their sappy, weak and cry over everything! Chester cracked me up, and made me think of my sister, who is SO much like him! I'm like Lawrence.
What I don't like is that it was WAY to short! I know it couldn't have been longer without getting boring, but it wasn't long enough!
In the Boy Colonel....
It was alright, I couldn't really connect with Noble. He is a great character, but I couldn't connect. I would love if there was more Edmund in it, as he was my fav in that book! This one is a little less kid friendly, but still a good read.
Secret of the Lost Settlement...
No. It had a great plot. I loved that the Stonings are in it. But...while I've read it 1.5 times, I probably won't read it again. There is too much blood shed, and I don't like the ending. I cried! I won't tell you why, cause I won't spoil it. It was really sad, and one of the few things that can make me actually shed tears.
There, the review for all three. Brothers at Arms, I rate as ALL stars! Way more than five!
Boy Colonel, five stars because it's a good book, despite not connecting with Noble.
Secret of the Lost Settlement, I'm giving it three for the plot and characters.
Rating 5 stars (because I love this book even after reading it four times)
Ages 12/13 and up (for mild violence and some description of deaths)
