Synopsis

Brian Jacques, New York Times bestselling author of the Redwall series, brings you a "jam-packed adventure is a swashbuckling take of pirates on the high seas" (Detroit Free Press).

Ben and his black labrador, castaways from the legendary ghost ship Flying Dutchman, swore never to go to sea again. But fate casts them adrift once more on a French pirate ship, with two villainous sea captains--and a ghost--in pursuit.

Dr. Jacques was a lifelong resident of Liverpool, England.

From AudioFile:

In this sequel to CASTAWAYS OF THE FLYING DUTCHMAN, we find the eternally young Ben and his faithful dog, Ned, cavorting with pirates in the Caribbean and taking on a tribe in the Pyrenees that is well-versed in the black arts. Brian Jacques and his cast do an exceptional job bringing this tale to life. The characterizations are well complemented by Jacques's winsome brogue. The other characters are performed with great expression and energy, as well. There is also music for transitions between chapters and sides, as well as a good number of songs that are quite delightful.
