Uncharted is the story of Owen Sparks and the time he spent on the island long before Anna and T.J. were stranded there.  From On the Island we assumed the bones Anna and T.J. found belonged to Owen but we found that wasn't the case when Owen showed up on their doorstep wanting to discuss something.From there he begins to tell us about his experience.  Owen was there voluntarily.  He was stressed out from his fast paced, high stress life.  Tired of his job, his friends, his greedy family.  So he made a plan.  To find a deserted island to think about his next step.  Of course he had a few more luxuries than Anna and T.J. such as a satellite phone and monthly visits from Mick to drop off supplies.After spending a year on the island he comes back to Male to enjoy things like cheeseburgers, comfy beds, and human interaction before once again heading back.  He meets a pretty, young woman named Calia and invites her and her brother, James, to go back with him.  Calia and James are free for a few months and are always looking for a new adventure so they agree.  But even with all of Owen's preparedness and contingencies you can't take for granted that you're always at the mercy of the island.This was a great novella.  It was nice catching up with Anna and T.J. again and it was nice to find out Owen had a happy ending.
