Review

"A swashbuckling tale of pirates on the high seas."

"It has all the elements that make Jacques' books sing--terrific description, wonderful characters, and the power to transport you to an unforgettable place." --Detroit Free Press

"Action-packed and filled to the brim with colorful characters." -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Fast-paced action." -The Indianapolis Star

"Swashbuckling." -The Columbus Dispatch

"[A] big, sprawling adventure...the story delivers nonstop action, pithy dialogue, and esoteric sea lore." -The Horn Book Magazine

"Rousing...vivid language, larger-than-life characters, and multiple story lines yield a sprawling, epic tale. Anyone, young and old, who enjoys being immersed in big, romantic adventures will love this series. Readers hooked by Jacque's storytelling magic in Castaways and the Redwall series are destined to be readers for life. May his readers be legion." -Kirkus Reviews

"Once again, Jacques spins a rousing yarn that fairly bursts at the seams with exciting escapades, exotic locations, poems, shanties, treachery, and derring-do...The sheer storytelling vigor is hard to resist. [Jacques] conjures a colorful, fully realized world and injects the pages with plenty of snappy repartee." -Publishers Weekly

"The plot is almost nonstop action, with lots of swordplay." -School Library Journal

"There's lots of swashbuckling adventure, suspense, intrigue, and some humor, much like Jacque's beloved Redwall sagas. This new story will appeal to the same audience." -KLIATT

"High adventure with memorable characters." -Locus

"Another page-turner. Readers who enjoyed the first book will find this sequel even more exciting." -Booklist
