Set against the natural beauty of south sea islands and alive with the hazards of headhunters, sharks, storms and disease, these eight powerful short stories include 'Mauki,' which tells of a young Melanesian sold into slavery; as well as 'The Terrible Solomons,' 'The House of Mapuhi,' 'The Whale Tooth,' 'Yah! Yah! Yah!,' 'The Heathen,' 'The Inevitable White Man,' and 'The Seed of McCoy.' Pure entertainment for lovers of adventure tales and Jack London fans.
