Do you think Brian Jacques would have written more Castaways books.

Mmm I don't think so. I wish he had because I liked them more than redwall at some points. However I think that's just because he didn't write 22 castaways books so they were still all pretty new in design. Not to say that redwall got old, I loved every single book! But I think it's because we didn't have as many castaway books that some of us wish for many more.

So to answer your question: no, I think he was going to leave it as a trilogy.

I think after leaving Ben with the knowledge of the pain and death of Serafina that I don't know where you could realistically take a story and not harp back on that event.  Could Mr. Jacques have written more? Sure...would it be worth it...not really.  Luckily, Castaways never fell into the formula Redwall did.

I think that's because there was only 3 of them

I just want to know what happened to Ben after the end of the first one.

I think it'd be really cool if someone wrote a fanfic about that, with Ben and Ned in modern times!

Maybe I don't really like modern storys.

I know there was a popular fanfiction of him and Ned on the Titanic on fanfiction.net!

I think it was actually Castaways5 who wrote it. He was a member on the forum!

Did anyone other than me look at the years? The first book was set much, much later than the others. But I think he would have written another one, maybe ending with the pair finally dying or settling down.
