After the foundering of IDAHO's cruise ship, the survivors are washed up on a deadly island off the coast of northern Africa. But in a jungle of shade, it's not just the Reapers lurking in the forest that pose a danger... Journeying to an underground institute at the heart of the island might be Cass and Jameson's only hope. But with Ulvic Hund hunting them down alongside his newfound companion, Rockley Jones, time is of the essence. And they soon have no choice but to face the deadly security system on the island to get to safety. Even if that means placing their lives in the hands of Silas Madigan.
