The two volumes have the same setting and mostly the same characters, but it is not a direct sequel. The events in Volume 2 take place quite a few years after we leave Brent in Volume 1.
The two volumes are also very different in nature. While Volume 1 is what we in Norwegian call en røverhistorie (a robber's story) with plenty of gung-ho action, blood and suspense, Volume 2 is a more slow-paced, rather eerie book that contains less violence. But on the other hand, Volume 1 is by far the most chilling of the two.
Titles:
Volume 1: "Brent - Pirates!" (A yarn)
Volume 2: "Brent - The Journey" (A discourse in moral philosophy)
