What a great story! I had to keep reading to find out what else would happen to hapless Howard, poor guy. I know, he's at a prison camp for a good reason, but still. He made a couple of horrible decisions and ruined lives, including his own, but without evil intent. I had to feel just a tiny bit sorry for him. I'm not sure he counted surviving until the end of the book as a good thing. He seems to be a disaster waiting to happen, no matter where he is.I appreciate a well written story that moves smoothly, as this one does. There was more detail and description than I would expect to find in a short work. I thought the description of the island's history was especially well done. The circumstances that make the story science fiction are not a new idea, but works well within the setting, and does incorporate a surprise or two.I enjoyed this short book very much, and look forward to reading the new sequel.
