Great Reading

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was easy to read and moved quickly. The characters feel real, and soon you find yourself rooting for them.Very detailed passages give you the sense of being in this predicament along with these men. Great reading for anybody who appreciates a good, solid story; no matter what genre it falls into.

Swift action blends well with psychological tension

Four men survive a shipwreck and find themselves on an isolated yet beautiful island with all they need to survive - except trust. A hierarchy arises for the captain in charge, enforced by a dictator who imagines himself a founding father over an isolated new life. Their survival will depend on who emerges as the winner of the power struggle in this moving, absorbing account. Highly recommended: swift action blends well with psychological tension.
