Horror chilled me to the marrow; for never before, I verily believe, had mortal eyes beheld so awful an apparition. Broad over the port bow, at an elevation of some forty degrees above the horizon, I beheld a great white-hot flaming mass, emitting a long trail of brilliant sparks, coming straight for the ship...
That's the way it started for Fourth Officer Eric Blackburn -- with a meteor slamming through the engine room of the S.S. Saturn.
Sole survivor of this astonishing catastrophe in the South Seas, Eric is picked up by a sailing vessel with a crew in search of treasure. Eric becomes skipper -- but the ship is wrecked on an uncharted island.
A savage king. Wild and crazed apes. A junk filled with blood-thirsty Chinese pirates.
These startling adventures and more are on the road to treasure!
But what is this treasure? And what surprise stands in Eric's way of finding it?
The answer lies in this page-turning thriller by a master of high seas storytelling, Harry Collingwood.
