Phoenix Island

PHOENIX ISLAND - WHERE HORROR AND HOPE LOCKED IN A LIFE AND DEATH STRUGGLE It was the most fearful of global disasters -- a tidal wave, such as Earth had never known... And on a small island in the North Pacific, a group of highly civilized men and women found all vestiges of civilization swept from them -- as death rushed toward them, plunging them into a primitive battle for survival that both stripped naked their most elemental passions of lust and greed, and revealed their inmost resources of courage and human endurance.... THEY WERE FIGHTING AGAINST TIME--AND EACH OTHER--IN A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO SURVIVE... --Andrew Held, world-famous physicist, whose guilty secret could destroy him. --Felicia, his beautiful, socialite wire, who had a taste for young lovers. --Donald Campbell, a brutal, sexually starved ex-convict, whose only law was that of the jungle. --Norma and Blake Mansfield, whose "perfect marriage" concealed an aching void of need. --Warren Brock, a celebrated, witty and effete homosexual sculptor. --Carlo, an almost too-handsome Hawaiian musician whose specialty was love-starved women. --Diana, a lovely young girl desperately afraid of her own wakening sensuality. --Rolf, torn between the white man's world and that of his American Indian forebears. All of these people would be forced to discover the primal truth about themselves and each other in the ultimate struggle for survival on PHOENIX ISLAND
