Pinnacle Reef: Curse of the Forgotten

by David Getty

Several strangers traveling together find themselves castaways on an island in the Caribbean. A rescue effort for one of their fellow travelers leads them to be marooned on another island with an obscure history dating back hundreds of years. Luckett Island is surrounded by topography that has caught unawares a collection of astounded souls who have been unlucky enough to encounter it’s most prominent feature, Pinnacle Reef. Once there these visitors, meet and form a partnership with another survivor from a similar calamity occurring twenty some odd years earlier. Together they embark on an adventure aimed from the outset to leave the island and return home but unknowingly find themselves immersed in long-ago foretold events that lead to a galvanic climax, and finds each member caught up in the swirls of time, forced to reckon with choices they have made, past misdeeds for some and ultimately the elusive promise of redemption and renewal for all that they have lost.

[Julia Walker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! I was not expecting this to be such an exceptional read! This is along the lines of classic literature like those written by Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson or Daniel Defoe. In 1971, four young men who otherwise do not know each other find themselves shipwrecked on an island with no way to get off. The Island is populated by a people that have created a culture around the idea that no one can leave the island. The young men are determined to find a way off the island and return home to their lives. Getty's writing is often poetic, sometimes scary and full of imagination. The island and it's inhabitants become real and the suspense keeps you turning the pages. You will not be able to put it down!
