I actually prefer this series to Redwall.

I also think this is the best Flying Dutchman book so far; while the prior two books did indeed contain marvelous swashbuckling adventures, this one had an emotional impact I did not expect. It's as if the situation of Ben and Ned and their imortality suddenly becomes something truly tragic and terrible and I appreciate Mr. Jacques for making that so clear.

However, this is not to say that this book does not also have a great adventure. The aforementioned emotional impact also includes an intriguing and horrible slave trade operation that brings out some of Jacques' most villianous of villains. Always good for a juicy read.

As always, the plot flows quick and thrilling, with Jacques' precise descriptions that do not detract from the story's pace.

This is another example of Jacques' marvelous ability to tell adventures

a cleverly written and exciting book it is very exciting and i highly recomend it
