The Black Stallion And Flame (1991) - Plot & Excerpts
And finally, what you’ve all been waiting for: THE BLACK AND FLAME MEET! [dramatic music]So seriously, I’m beginning to think that Farley was very bored of writing these stories. He really seems to have gone off the deep end. At least there were no extraterrestrials this time. Instead, he incorporates a plane wreck, the idea that the Black would bypass multiple islands and instead find the secret hidden sea entrance of Flame’s island, a rabid vampire bat, and the mysterious beyond-comprehension bond between the Black and Alec.So I am unable to discover the answer to a question that I have: if a non-rabid vampire bat bites an animal, the animal doesn’t usually die because the bat doesn’t drink enough of its blood. However, in Farley’s book, the animals bitten by the rabid vampire bat die immediately, but the bat lives for a long time with the disease. It seems to me as though the bitten animal shouldn’t die immediately, but rather should just contract rabies and die of that several days later. But since Farley is apparently no longer interested, at this point in the series, in making sense, we’ll let that pass.The book was also a gyp because the Black and Flame never fight OR race, so we still have no idea which stallion is THE BEST.There are only four books left in this series. I hope I survive.
