With the twists and turns of a thriller, it tells the true saga of a company of British naval officers and crew that became stranded on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia and descended into murderous anarchy.

It was a #1 New York Times<\/em> bestseller and named one of the best books of the year by the Times<\/em>, Wall Street Journal<\/em>, Washington Post<\/em>, Los Angeles Times<\/em>, Entertainment Weekly<\/em>, Time<\/em>, and other publications.
