BOON ISLAND

by Kenneth Roberts ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 2, 1955

Here, Roberts tells a tale of a miracle of survival with a crew of fourteen men from an English ship, marooned on Boon Island off the New Hampshire coast. Grim, stark and unprettified, the story hinges on such facts as the drastic weather over the barren rock and builds to a climax of the villainous plotting of the first mate who is owed a debt by the captain. Before rescue there is mutiny and cannibalism, courage and endurance. Absorbing reading.
