Sally Harper, the head of Management Consulting for the Integra Corporation, is on the way to Australia with Don Bennings to investigate a large hotel group, for investment in it by Integra. Their aircraft runs into a cloud of volcanic dust over the ocean, and they are forced to ditch hundreds of miles from land and far off their course, in the middle of a hurricane. Overcoming enormous difficulties, they make their way to a deserted island, facing the prospect of spending their lives there. The situation strains their adaptability, their ingenuity and their sense of optimism to the limits. They work together to survive the numerous challenges they are forced to confront, and to make their way back to civilization. This adventure makes enthralling reading, giving new insights into what drives people to achieve against all odds. It is a tale of ordinary people forced to do extraordinary things.
