Illustrated by
David Elliot.
Ben, the immortal protagonist of Castaways of the Flying Dutchman, joins the crew of a pirate ship in a voyage marked by wild chases, dangerous attacks, and a mutinous crew. Upon arriving in France, Ben searches for a young man kidnapped many years earlier by an evil local clan. Set in the early seventeenth century, this big, sprawling adventure will win new fans for Jacques's series.
