Nick Hamilton is an Australian journalist assigned to accompany an archaeology expedition to Cavendish Island—a long-deserted prison off of the east coast of Australia. But Nick has no idea what he's in for. The island has a long history of Satanism, and a group of Satanists have joined the exploration party with the intention of reviving the island's ancient powers. And the Satanists aren't the only ones interested in the island's mystical powers, as a secret military group is on the way to recover evidence on the island. Natural and spiritual forces collide as a massive hurricane hits! Through it all, Nick discovers more than he ever anticipated.

Kevin Barry "Kel" Richards (born 8 February 1946) is an Australian author, journalist and radio personality.
Richards has written a series of crime novels and thrillers for adult readers which includes The Case of the Vanishing Corpse, Death in Egypt and An Outbreak of Darkness.
Richards currently presents ABC NewsRadio's weekend afternoons, which includes regular Wordwatch segments. Wordwatch is a feature introduced by Richards. Initially developed as a "filler" program for the radio programs to allow time for changes of people or locations, it tapped into an interest by the listening public and several books have been produced based on the show's research. In November 2003 the thousandth episode of the show was produced.
Richards can also be heard on ABC Local Radio programs including Nightlife (national) and Evenings in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
Strangely like watching Lost - which I stopped watching when it just got ridiculous. Not enough God in it to really be a Christian fiction. God seemed like an afterthought. Weird. Would not recommend but it wasn't awful. I kept reading it to see how it resolved.
I read this book many years ago. It was different the the usual fare from Kel Richards. This book had more of a speculative element to it, but to say more than that would be to spoil the ending. Suffice it to say that I really enjoyed the way the mystery in this story was resolved.
