Description
When William Dursley finds his long lost and ailing Uncle Baldwin on his doorstep one wintry night, his life is changed forever. His uncle reveals an incredible story of a distant island in the South Pacific, filled with a precious uranium ore, worth millions of pounds.Initially skeptical, William is soon fired by his uncle's enthusiasm. But nothing prepares him for his uncle's sudden death---or for his own reckless decision to set off on a hazardous voyage in search of this uncharted, mythical paradise.
