Thoroughly Entertaining from start to finish. This is a great carry on from the first book in the series ‘World Odyssey’. Both Authors take us on such an amazing adventure around the world with a group of very diverse character, and an interesting plot. Sina didn’t have a chance when she was grabbed by the much stronger Rambuka, and especially when he decided that he wanted to take her back to his tribe. Being taken by an Outcast back to the land of Red Rain wasn’t the ideal outcome for her. Ram Thoroughly Entertaining from start to finish. This is a great carry on from the first book in the series ‘World Odyssey’. Both Authors take us on such an amazing adventure around the world with a group of very diverse character, and an interesting plot. Sina didn’t have a chance when she was grabbed by the much stronger Rambuka, and especially when he decided that he wanted to take her back to his tribe. Being taken by an Outcast back to the land of Red Rain wasn’t the ideal outcome for her. Rambuka became an outcast after he tried to kill his half-brother Joelil. Before Joelil was born, Rambuka was first in line to become the Raut – Chief of the village. However since his mother wasn’t of royal blood, and Joelil’s was, he was relegated to a common warrior, which certainly upset him. Now he was doing everything in his power to build up his own tribe and seek his revenge. Susannah and her father Brian finally made it to Fiji of 6 months of travelling on the ship. They met up with Nathan Johnson in Levuka, who was also on his way to Mobi Bay. However he wasn’t going there to be a missionary like Susannah and her father, but to trade muskets for sea cucumbers. Something the Chinese were crazy for and prepared to pay a lot of money for. Like most men Nathan was very taken with Susannah’s beauty. As with all Europeans they are quite shocked with some of the Fijian customs, and how cheaply they value someone’s life. They don’t bat an eye lid to sacrifice themselves for the great good of the tribe. Then there are the cannibals to be aware of. Rambuka and the Outcast’s attack the village with muskets and it’s only Nathan’s quick thinking to get his muskets off the ship that saves the village from being wiped out. Rambuka does manage to steal the tribe’s most prized possession, the Golden Tabua. Which is the tooth of a sperm whale, which is meant to bring the owners good luck. They all thought the fight was over until Nathan was struck by a spear in the chest by one of the Outcast’s that was hiding. Then the unthinkable happens and Rambuka abducts Susannah in front of Nathan, and he’s going to do everything he can to get her back. Escaped convict Jack Halliday might be able to help, as he’s made his way to Fiji. This was such an easy and enjoyable book to read, and so well written. Well worth a read.

If you like adventure that takes you to exotic locations, you will like Fiji. The writers' research of the history of the people and the islands make for a wonderful love story. It would make a terrific movie. ...more
