The story of survival continues for our band of strangers finding refuge on Portsmouth Island.  As days turned into weeks, the group is learning and making use of all available resources to survive.  And they gather at lunch time to hear increasingly horrible news about The Fever and the discovery of nightmarish creatures.Yet this balance cannot last.  Michael Stark moves the plot forward when a man visits the island.  Is he friend or foe?  Is he Infected?  His arrival brings revelations and horror to the island inhabitants.Michael Stark is starting to come into his own as a writer.  For this part three, I was expecting a number of things: main character development? Check.  Cast development?  Check.  Story development? Check.The author still has a tendency to digress at times, but far less often.  The most notable instance occurs at location 900.Overall, The Island is becoming an interesting read with a decent pace and solid story development.  Part three easily rates five stars.  Keep it up!
