Reissue of a novel first published in 1976. Gunnar Thorkild, of the Institute of Pacific Studies in Hawaii, announces in a scientific journal the existence of a legendary island, then sets out to find it. Australian author's last book was 'The Ringmaster'.

I've come to expect so much from Morris West, and he let me down badly with this one. In fact, it was so bad I had to give up and put it down. Truly awful, one-dimensional, stereotyped characters, turgid dialogue, a hackneyed plot. There wouldn't be a strong enough rope on Earth to suspend my disbelief at how the yacht ends up wrecked on that island. I had difficulty believing Morris West actually wrote this tripe, but I suppose it's the rare author who doesn't have at least one turkey. Yes, I'm looking at you, Graham Greene...
