Synopsis

The famous ship, The Flying Dutchman, was lost off the coast of South America - and its crew were condemned to an eternity of misery in its ghastly wreck. Ben and his dog Den escaped - and wandered the world, never ageing, moving on only when the ship's bell tolled and a new mission beckoned. But now the evil Captain Vanderdecken wants them back . . .The action-packed, adventure-filled follow-up to CASTAWAYS OF THE FLYING DUTCHMAN.

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.
