Editorial Reviews

Eternal castaways Ben and his canine companion, Ned, continue their breathless adventures. After being adrift on the Mediterranean Sea, they are rescued, but their apparent good luck quickly goes bad as Ned is thrown overboard and Ben slips under the control of a slave lord. Young man and dog are eventually reunited, setting the stage for their exciting escape. Sympathetic characters; adroitly handled plot shifts.

Praise for Brian Jacques

"Jacques's fervent followers are rewarded with the author's usual swashbuckling good storytelling, while the newly initiated will read with wide eyes, and quickly go back to hungrily devour the rest of the series."—Amazon.com on Triss

"Scrumptious feasts, rollicking humor, swashbuckling hero's, faithful friends, and treachero's villains magically combine through three intertwined action-packed plots into one unforgettable, spellbinding story." —VOYA on Triss

"Almost nonstop action."—School Library Journal on The Angel's Command
