About This Book

Two boys and a man, stranded on a South Seas island after a wreck, apply ingenuity to fashion clothing, tools, and weapons, explore caves and neighboring isles, and confront neighboring tribal peoples whose witch doctors, sacrificial rites, and hypnotic ceremonies threaten captives. By scouting, stealthy rescues, demonstrations of unfamiliar technology, and negotiated pacts they free prisoners, win reluctant allies, and interrupt dangerous rituals while documenting natural and cultural curiosities and using practical science and leadership to survive and shape events on the islands.
