Savages

IT BEGAN AS A VACATION TO THE COOK ISLANDS. But when seven friends are lost in the South Pacific after their boat goes down in a storm, they must survive at sea for several days in a small raft. Blown miles off course from their original position, and deep into open waters, they eventually encounter a small uncharted island. Grateful to be alive, they begin their quest for survival, hopeful they'll be rescued sooner than later.

But the island is not the paradise it appears to be. Instead, it is a place of horror, death, torture and evil, of terrible secrets thought long buried and forgotten. And they are not alone. Something guards those horrible secrets, something evil and relentlessly violent, an ancient horror born of rage and vengeance, a blood-crazed predator that lives to kill and will stop at nothing to protect the island from those intruding upon its dark legacy. The savage is loose, and there is no escape.

"Gifune strikes gold here and from page one we see people pushed to their limits and ultimately so far past it, you'll be amazed to see their character arcs. The true horror of the island was fantastic and had me Googling the real-life history about it and that is saying something." - Kendell Reviews
