You wake on a beautiful, secluded beach. The sun bakes down, a shimmering ocean stretches into the horizon. It’s as far from home as you could imagine. Yet this is no ordinary escape. Next to the wreck of a plane, a stranger circles the camp fire. Somewhere, a baby cries. Someone sharpens a knife in the shadows, scoring a list of the dead onto the bark of a tree. Day by day, the island’s wildness creeps under everyone’s skin, tensions and lies whispering on the breeze. A secret beach. An island with no name. Gripping, twisty and full of sun-soaked atmosphere, THE CASTAWAYS will whisk you far away to the island – and never let you go.

Daniel Defoes classic tale of a solitary castaways survival and triumph, widely considered to be the first English novel. "I, poor miserable Robinson Crusoe, being shipwrecked, came on shore on this dismal unfortunate island, all the rest of the ships company being drowned. In despair of any relief, I saw nothing but death before me..."
