Long Patrol

The Long Patrol--that fighting unit of perilous hares--is called out to draw off the murderous Rapscallion army, and fight them to the death if need be. And the lead sword of the Long Patrol will be taken up by the young, inexperienced hare, Tammo--in one of the most ferocious battles Redwall has ever faced.

Brian Jacques is a masterful storyteller known first and foremost as the creator of the bestselling Redwall series, which features creatures from the medieval red-stoned abbey of Mossflower Wood. Castaways of the Flying Dutchman is his first novel outside the Redwall series. Born in Liverpool and raised near the docks, Mr. Jacques, a man of many talents, has lived a life both varied and adventuresome. He has at different times been a sailor, truck driver, longshoreman, comedian, folk singer, and radio host, and each of these pursuits has colored his rich tapestry of stories. He now lives in his hometown of Liverpool, where he enjoys a coterie of friends and family.
