I just finished reading The Angel’s Command (TAC) by Brian Jacques which is the sequel to Castaways of the Flying Dutchman (CotFD). I didn’t enjoy TAC as much as CotFD. The story line wasn’t as gripping and Jacques was a bit heavy handed with the Good Always Wins Over Evil message.

As a quick recap, Ben and his dog Ned are aboard the Flying Dutchman on the fateful voyage that cursed the ship and its Captain to eternally ply the seas without rest. Being the only good souls on the ship the two are rescued at the last minute by an angel but are then fated to never age and wander forever. The books are stories are their adventures as they make their way around the world.

There is a third book in the series but I’m going to take a break and read Ice Hunt by James Rollins first. I’ve really enjoyed the three other books I’ve read by Rollins and I’m hoping this is no exception.

Update: Dammit, James! I'm not even 25 pages in and I'm hooked! I was just getting back to sleeping again and you've stolen it from me!
